Canada attacked on 9/11...by mistake

Suppose more planes were involved and the hijackers who had erractic piloting skills at best accidentally crashed into a Canadian city...

A more vigorious and direct response and perhaps joining Bush to attack Iraq?
 
Yeah, and if they did make it to Canada, is it even likely that they'd hit a major building, if they were so off target to begin with? (But it would not be good if they hit the CN tower.)

Well, I would assume that in those circumstances the terrorists would fly towards the center of the city and go for the biggest, tallest building they could find.
 
I would think it likely that most of the airliners would be shot down by the time they would have left US airspace.
Why?
a) None of the OTL planes were shot down
b) one of those planes weaved all around Pennsylvania before coming down. In a straight line, it could easily have reached Canada.
c) Most Canadian cities and large towns are within a few tens of miles from the US border... at airliner speeds, we're talking 20 minutes over the border at most.
