It is my understanding that Public Safety Canada was provided with a mandate enacted on March 23rd 2005[1] by the Government
of Canada to ensure that Canadians are safe from a range of risks such as natural disasters, crime, and terrorism. The
Department has stated that there is no more fundamental role for government than the protection of its citizens. [2] I write you then
in an open letter as a private citizen regarding the Government of Canada's official disposition to the events of 9/11, and all
derived matters predicated there upon.

As in the case of a series of domino pieces, it is not logical to discuss new events causally linked with preceding ones as though
they were disparate. Whether it be increased airport[3] and border security,[4] changes in foreign policy and the role of C.S.I.S., law
enforcement, immigration, the lectures[5] heard within the auditoriums of our universities, the deployment of military ordnance and
men abroad, debates on the procurement of war materials,[6] they are all preceded with the tragic aforementioned event that
claimed thousands of lives, 24 of which were Canadian[7] and with lasting consequences for others.[8] It is not unreasonable to
reflect on them as a set of issues forming an arborescence and sharing a common root, or significant mutual event that preceded
all of them.[9] The influence has been undeniable.
