Toronto subway shuts briefly after threat

But but......Canada is not fighting in Iraq. The reason Britain was attacked was because they were fighting side by side with the Americans in Iraq. How can this be?

TORONTO, July 28 (Reuters) - Toronto's subway system was partially closed for nearly one hour after a threat was made against the country's largest transit system, police said on Thursday.

Police said the threat was made by telephone and was directed at the transit system but did not specify where on the line. As a result, police shut down large sections of the line as they investigated.

"We're just not taking any chances, that's all," said a Toronto police spokesman.
The Toronto transit system carries about 1.4 million passengers a day, making it the country's busiest.

Authorities have stepped up security measures on the system since the July 7 subway bombings in London which killed at least 56 people and injured hundreds.

Why would security be stepped up after the London bombings, Canada should be safe because they are not participating in Iraq. They have acquiesced to the terrorists and therefor should not be a target, right?
