OTTAWA (CP) - Canada's spy agency says potential terrorists already reside in Canadian cities.

The deputy director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service says there are many people currently living in Canada who fought with al-Qaida during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

And Jack Hooper says those same people have since trained in al-Qaida terrorist training camps.

Hooper made the revelation today at a Senate committee studying Canada's role in Afghanistan.

He pointed to several examples of people who had lived in Canada, and later took part in terrorist attacks.

RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli told the committee that the Mounties and CSIS are working closely together to thwart potential homegrown terrorists threats.

The Senate is holding a full day of hearings on Canada's military mission in Afghanistan, and how it relates to security at home.

But they're hard workers. And, besides, they're only doing the terrorism that Canadians won't do.

Canada is an outpost of Western Europe. High taxes, anti-semitism, socialist media, anti-americanism and hatred of capitalism and every good it produces. Sad.

This is not surprising. In the 1970s my Canadian relatives always wanted to lecture me on our civil rights problems. In the 1980s all they wanted to talk about was their "Paki problem."
