Well, there was that millenium dude who got picked up at the border with the intent to get to L.A. and blow up the Israeli airline, but the RCMP and CSIS followed the guy, tipped off the FBI, and got him redhanded.
Then there were the spectacular 17 or whatever they were called, those 17 guys picked up in a cell in Toronto, also followed by RCMP and CSIS, who did another fine job of preventing any harm to the public.
After it's role in Afghanistan, Canada was placed on Al Qaeda's "must get" list, and to date, the U.S., England, Australia, India, Spain among others have been attacked. But not Canada yet. Part luck and part good intelligence work.
It isn't Canada the U.S. has to worry about, it's Mexico. Thousands upon thousands come from Mexico illegally every month while the U.S. gov't twidles it's thumbs.
