Most Canadians believe the U.S. Government knew that the attacks of September 11, 2001 were coming – and did not act to prevent them, a poll released today indicates. When asked about the following statement, 63% of Canadians agreed that “Individuals within the U.S. Government including the White House had prior knowledge of the plans for the events of September 11th, and failed to take appropriate action to stop them”.
Additionally, 16% of Canadians believe that individuals within the U.S. Government were involved in the planning and execution of the events of September 11th.
The country is more or less split on whether the Canadian Government was right in using the events of 9/11 to justify legislation which limits civil rights. While 50% support the government’s actions, 44% of Canadians oppose this legislation.
The national poll of Canadians was commissioned by 911inquiry.org and was conducted by Maritz: Thompson Lightstone, a national survey research firm.

Never mind the american casualties in Iraq: http://www.antiwar.com/casualties/
That's just Iraq. The point is, it *doesn't* *matter* what happened on sept 11, what matters is that it was not investigated thoroughly and could quite possibly have been avoided. And yet it was used as an excuse for a pre-emptive invasion of iraq, where even greater casualties have been incurred. 9/11 was a tragedy, but that's no reason to blindly accept what the US government tells you.

Are you sure ?
From the FBI web site, speech at the Commonwealth Club of
California.
" While here, the hijackers did all they could to stay below our
radar. They contacted no known terrorist sympathizers. They
committed no egregious crimes. They dressed and acted like
Americans, shopping and eating at places like Wal-Mart and Pizza
Hut, blending into the woodwork all the while. When four got
speeding tickets in the days leading up to September 11th, they
remained calm and aroused no suspicion. Since none were
known terrorists, law enforcement had no reason to question or
detain them.
The hijackers also left no paper trail. In our investigation, we have
not uncovered a single piece of paper either here in the U.S. or
in the treasure trove of information that has turned up in
Afghanistan and elsewhere that mentioned any aspect of the
September 11th plot. The hijackers had no computers, no laptops,
no storage media of any kind. They used hundreds of different pay
phones and cell phones, often with prepaid calling cards that are
extremely difficult to trace. And they made sure that all the money
sent to them to fund their attacks was wired in small amounts to
avoid detection.
In short, the terrorists had managed to exploit loopholes and
vulnerabilities in our systems, to stay out of sight, and to not let
anyone know what they were up to beyond a very closed circle.
The investigation was enormously helpful in figuring out who and
what to look for as we worked to prevent attacks. It allowed us to
see where we as a nation needed to close gaps in our security.
And it gave us clear and definitive proof that al Qaeda was behind
the strikes. "

Muslim + Walmart + Pizza Hut + speeding ticket + no paper trail +
no computer + no storage media of any kind + no link to know
terrorist = clear and definitive proof that al Qaeda was behind the
strikes.
The best part: "In our investigation, we have not uncovered a
single piece of paper either here in the U.S. or in the treasure
trove of information that has turned up in Afghanistan and
elsewhere that mentioned any aspect of the September 11th
plot"
So much for truth and justice in the USA.
I'd be most interested in knowing where you get your "facts" from? There has been no investigation, no proof, no evidence stating who, what, why, how, nothing! No facts is the only fact. The only way you could state anything with regards to 9/11 as fact is if you personally committed the act. Did you?
