?? Unfortunately, most of the attackers were legally in the US on visas. So why do you expect Canada to have done better than the INS?
As far as US scrutinizing, who do you think does it the most? Canadians were getting turned back a long time ago for petty things that were pardoned up here (this is equivalent to having your record sealed - it isn't a Libby type thing). Looks like Canada is unfortunately reciprocating. Stupid for much of it, especially the pot smoking given the general attitude up here.
