The impact of 9/11 on Canada is assessed in historical context, in relation to the coming of the Cold War in the 1940s and the October 1970 Le Front de Liberation du Quebec terrorist crisis in Quebec. Canadian policy responses to 9/11 are then considered in the comparative context of responses from Canada\u27s closest neighbours, the United States and the United Kingdom. Although to some degree, Canada can be seen to be trying to \u27keep up with the neighbours\u27, Canadian responses are more determined by specifically Canadian requirements, especially the need to protect Canadian sovereignty and economic security from the unintended consequences of American actions
