Too much emphasis on pointy hats Sept. 11 hurts my head clouds judgment, Chief Justice McLachlin says

Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin's warning that lawmakers, judges and citizens must heed the big picture...
I'm sure those on the 104th floor of the WTC were heeding the big picture.

#3  IIRC something like 100 Canadians died at the WTC. That's more than had died in any war since Korea.
