You may not think that Canadians would be acutely aware of happenings in the US, but we do! I distinctly remember JFK's assasination--it was a windy dreary day here, and the school trustee burst into our one room school announcing the fact. He spent 15 minutes trying to tune in a news report on the old tube radio to no effect. It affected meand our family in a unique way---My parents had immigrated to Canada just 12 years prior from Holland, one reason being the political unrest there and the spread of communism and a possible nuclear war. When the Cuban Missile crisis occured, they felt the same threat again, having relocated to avoid such a case. I vividly recall my mother putting us to bed (I was 7) and asking us to pray for "President Kennedy" and to have no war. We too were doing the 'duck and cover' exercises!
As far as 9-11, I was cutting silage when I heard the report on the radio. It was a beautiful sunny day here, and I knew the weather high extended over most of NE Canada/US-thus an accident involving commercial air traffic was unlikely. The vet came to treat a cow and we just listened in horror as events unfolded over the radio in the barn. Scary times indded.
