The aliens in “Independence Day” attacked every major city in the world except for those in Canada. Maybe that gave us a false sense of security.

In “The Day After Tomorrow“, they said that everyone north of Idaho was going to be frozen to death… but we were sure they meant all the Americans north of Idaho. Anyone who’s made it through a Winnipeg winter can certainly handle 150 below.

In the eerily foreshadowing “The Seige“, it was made very clear that the terrorists attacking New York were doing so in retaliation for American actions. As Canadians, we don’t see outselves as Americans, and assume all other countries are the same. And perhaps we’re right.

That’s what makes this intercepted terrorism attack all the more difficult to understand.

I’m holding off my emotions until I get all the details. Right now, all the voices we hear in the media are the loudest and most extremist. So far, the most credible source of confirmed targets comes from heresay.

Simply, I’m not ready to be shaken up about this news. I’m not going to ignore it either. It took me a long time… a very long time, to fully comprehend what happened in 2001, but that extra time allowed me to understand in a way that made sense to me, and didn’t make me suseptible to the rantings of the Media Extremists nor the sheep who follow them.

If nothing else, be wary of the extremists on the small screen right now. They can be just as dangerous.
