NICE COUNTS FOR NOTHING

Candians don't want to accept they were targets for terrorist attack:

The view of Canada as removed from the immigrant frictions and diplomatic strains suffered by its superpower neighbor may be outdated, said Audrey Macklin, a University of Toronto law professor who specializes in immigration, refugee and citizenship affairs.

"There is a desire in Canada to see ourselves as very different from the United States. Whatever we are, we are not the United States," she said, citing the nation's more liberal immigration policy and rejection of go-it-alone military actions. Canada has declined to be part of the U.S.-led forces involved in the war in Iraq.

"We're not a priority target the way the United States is, but that doesn't mean we are protected," she said, adding that Canadians "picture themselves as being thought of as nicer than the United States."

Nice is a description of losers.
