Regardless this a U.S. warship has a nuke on it or not. They are a terrorist target. Why invite that type of liability into our country??
I hope your not wearing a luminous wristwatch, you could be a terrorist target.

If there is a hotbed of terrorism in Esquimalt or Halifax, then there are far more serious problems then simply the US warship. And canadian warships can dock in US ports and in the ports of the rest of nato, canadian soldiers work in the US military as well as alongside them, the US supplies Canada with arms and ammo when there is a shortage, would you throw all of that away because ships occassionally make calls on canadas ports?
Why should or would Canadians care? Seems a bit of an overreaction to me. What difference could it possibly make if these ships were docked in Vancouver or Seattle/Boston/Halifax when they became a "terrorist target"? We'd all be just as dead.
I think some Canadians are simply unaware of just how clossely aligned we are with the US in every possible manner. Positive or negative, it just IS.

What the hell.
I stated that U.S. Warships would attract the enemy.
What's the difference if they attack Vancouver or Seattle. Canadian's being killed vs. U.S. Citizens.
This is not Canada's war. This is not Canada's foreign policy that has brought Al- Quida to the United States.
Last time I checked Canada is it's own nation. I know some Canadians are pretty content with riding on the coat tails of Uncle Sam; I suggest they move to the U.S. - I hear they will give you amnesty.

Hmmm, that's going to require a long boat ride from the Middle East to bomb a ship docked in a Canadian port.

Not to mention, even if it did happen in canada how would that put canadians at risk, the explosion was limited to the Cole. Most ships would be far enough away out of simple harbor rules.

Chinese Navy Vessels Leaves for Visit to US, Canada
Two Chinese naval vessels left Qingdao Sunday for the United States, where they will visit Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and the Naval Station Everett in Washington.
This is the first visit to the United States by the Chinese Navy since NATO bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in May 1999.
"It is part of a series of goodwill cruises between the two countries," said a spokesman for the Chinese Defence Ministry, noting that some courtesy calls between the military of both sides will be held during the visit.
The participating ships are Qingdao DDG-113, a Luhu-class guided-missile destroyer, and Taicang AOR 575, a Fuqing-class oiler. The two vessels will visit Pearl Harbor from September 5-8, and will stop in Everett, Washington, from September 15-18.
The senior People's Liberation Army (Navy) representative on board is Rear Admiral Lu Fangqiu, chief of staff of the North Sea Fleet.
The US-China relationship is of great importance to the long-term political, military, and economic interests of our nation, said the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defence of the US Pacific Fleet.
The visit follows the United States Navy guided-missile cruiser Chancellorsville's visit to Qingdao in East China's Shandong Province in August.
The two countries' navies are the two largest in the Asia-Pacific region. Interaction between them increases mutual understanding and confidence, the US source said.
During the visits, Chinese and US sailors will have the opportunity to interact and take tours of unrestricted areas of each other's ships.
The US Navy, in co-operation with China's People's Liberation Army, has scheduled a series of events and meetings to build mutual understanding of maritime safety, communications and search and rescue procedures.
The Chinese vessels will continue on to visit Canada in mid-September.

Strange. Nothing about which 'Canadian' port the so-called Chinese navy shall visit. Did you just happen to add that? You did read the article carefully did you not? It is an official visit. Merely a silly little trip to mark 'improved relations'. That makes it a one-time trip. The Chinese Navy does NOT make port calls in the USA. You are an idiot. China is the communis enemy. Do you think the Soviets allowed US warships into their ports? Please I beg of you cut down your smoking the crack.

Besides the the US's largest SSBN base is only 410 km away from halifax in the first place. (220 Km from Saint Johns)

Canada Plays Host to U.S. Nuclear Weapons
Unknown to most Canadians, U.S. nuclear weapons by the dozen are coming into Canada and sitting for days at a time in the middle of some of our largest cities.
As a favor to the United States, the Canadian government allows American warships to dock in Canadian harbors so that the ship crews can enjoy "R and R" in port cities such as Victoria, Vancouver, Halifax, St. John's, and Québec City. Since about 85 percent of the major combat vessels in the U.S. fleet are equipped to carry nuclear weapons, the result is that Canada is playing host to the weapons of World War Three on a regular basis.
How frequent are these visits? Quite common and growing more so. In 1985, there were 35 different nuclear weapons-capable vessels which spent a combined total of 272 "shipdays" here (a shipday is one day in port for each ship). This is roughly two-and-and-one-half times the yearly average of 120 shipdays for each of the previous ten years.....
What do you think about U.S. nuclear weapons being on board U.S. ships docked in Canadian ports.

A silly Yankee we have on a Canadian forum. Allow me. How far away from the Middle East were the WTC towers? Quite a long 'boat ride' as it were. I rest my case. Now see fit to run along. Shoo.

Something like the bombing of the USS Cole is not going to happen here. The US is not going to pull it's warships out of the middle east because something happened in Canada.
Why go against a warship when you can pick a subway, ferry or office building.
After you save the Eagle Ridge bluffs, you can all bicycle down to Stanley park and throw flowers on the water while chanting Kumbiya.
I'll toast you with a beer from the deck.
