    That didn’t stop a candidate for president of the United States from appearing on Fox News to promote an aspect of his platform: Building a border wall with Canada.

    “I have been sounding the alarm bell about the northern border for a long time,” said Vivek Ramaswamy during a lengthy interview about an incident he did not witness, was not a subject-matter expert on, and had no insight into.

    The afternoon of speculation rekindled rough memories for Canada from the 9/11 era, where American fears of cross-border terrorism resulted in a long-term tightening of the border.

    Canadian diplomats in Washington spent years trying to dispel that canard, as it had created a real-world impact on Canada’s economy and its major international border.

    Meanwhile, on social media, Republican Arizona politician Kari Lake called this a terrorist attack caused by Joe Biden’s open border policies.

    One terrorism expert, a Canadian living in the U.S., told CBC News that, given events in the Middle East, she’s been worrying a lot about domestic incidents, and originally thought this might be one.
