Summary

Introduction

Canada's response to terrorism reflects many of the same 9/11 effects seen in other countries. Canada quickly responded to both 9/11 and United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution 1373 with a new law that featured a broad definition of terrorism, new terrorism and terrorism financing offenses, and new state powers to investigate terrorism. Canada also responded to the danger of suspected terrorists abusing refugee status by imposing administrative detention on secret evidence and placing new restrictions on the admission of all refugees. What was unique about Canada's response was the border it shares with the United States. Canada was singled out in the Patriot Act, which contained a section titled “Protecting the Northern Border” which responding to American security fears about Canada provided for increased numbers of border guards and scrutiny of those entering the United States.
