My 20 minute history presentation is on Canada's Response to Terrorism and the Anti-Terrorist act.
How did Canada respond right after attack?
All I have is that we accepted diverted planes from the US.
 
not only did Canada lose citizens in the towers (sorry i don't know how many but should be easy to find out) we did more than accept diverted planes, we looked after all the people in those planes by housing and feeding them until they could return to the usa. Canada also sent relief workers to the site and supported the usa with cash donations thru the Red Cross.
 
Canada accepted some diverted airplanes. There wasn't much else for Canada to do or needed to do. The U S reacted too quickly for much else to be done !! Imagine, every one of thousands and thousands of flights on the ground within 15 minutes !!!! It seems the US had the situation under control very quickly. Canada did sent troops to Afghanistan.
