“In most cases, they appear to use Canadian residence as a safe haven, a means to raise funds, to plan or support overseas activities or as a way to obtain Canadian travel documents which make global travel easier — or they combine any or all of these activities,” says the report, which is titled “Exploitation of Canada’s Immigration System: An Overview of Security Intelligence Concerns.”

If terrorists can enter the US from Canada wouldn't that mean that US authorities felt they were not a threat as well? I think that BOTH of our countries need to do some work to tighten up our immigration and internal security...

Anita - why not? Are you saying that there is no way that he couldn't have gotten a weapon easier in the US, with less worries about being caught trying to get it across the border?
