I was in a small college in Canada when it happened, and I can mostly remember three overall camps the day it happened. There were people angry, and the prevailing hate was directed towards Palestine for some reason. The average person was a little shook up, but nobody I noticed around the school was crying or anything; it was mostly an overall feeling of unease. On the other side there was an anti Bush sentiment growing assuming he was going to start a bunch of wars and get a bunch of "safety" laws passed. Not that he was ever popular with the college crowd here, but even on the day it happened a lot of people became more vocal against him.

Which reminds me, growing up in Canada during the 80's and 90's was mostly about having a smug sense of superiority over Americans. Our high school social education was basically three things - world war 2, white guilt, and how we're not as bad as the US. A lot of that seemed to go away after 9/11. I'm sure there were other factors, but for a lot of people it hit a switch and a lot more sympathy came out of them.
