Answer
Al Qaeda has declared a global jihad, not just on America. They're active on other continents and have perpetuated attacks or have trained and sponsored others to do the attacks. Their goal is to get an Islamic Caliphate, Islamic control, globally. They also terrorize other moderately led Islamic nations to wrestle control from them so they can institute their own brand of Islamic ideology.
Al Qaeda is an offshoot of the: Muslim Brotherhood--->Maktab al-Khidamat--->Al Qaeda. The Muslim Brotherhood, like Al Qaeda, has operatives in other nations. It is quite common for the Islamic groups to split.
They feed off each other like piranhas in a feeding frenzy. Some go for the political struggle while others go for mainly militant terror tactics. In the end, they all still support each other.
I'm not aware of Al Qaeda operatives within the US, but I am aware of Muslim Brotherhood within America, with other "political allies" striving for jihad and the overthrow of Western US government.
"The process of settlement is a "Civilization-Jihadist Process" with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny."

Edit: Yes they want to kill Canadians too. No continent or country has been immune from Islamic terrorism. Canada also has a large immigrant population, of homegrowns, that can vote to overthrow the status quo, or otherwise terrorize from within. Here are a couple links/quotes showing global issues.

The Escalation of the Conflict During Ahmadinejad's Presidency
With Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's rise to power in 2005, the conflict reemerged, with greater intensity. Ahmadinejad reverted to Iran's previous policy of anti-Saudi hegemony, by pushing the export of the revolution, and promoting a messianic Shi'ite vision that stresses the imminent appearance of the Mahdi and the reestablishment of the great Persian Empire. In his second television appearance following his election, he said: "The message of the [Islamic] Revolution is global, and not restricted to a specific time or place. It is a human message, and it will move forward. Have no doubt... Allah willing, Islam will conquer. Islam will conquer what? It will conquer all the mountaintops of the world." --Memri.org

Please try to make it as short as you can! Thank You!
Answer
The problems were economic, social and political.
Economic:
The economy had been stagnating throughout the 1970s, as Western economies moved into new technologies, the Soviets economy was based on Karl Marx's analysis of the British economy in the mid 19th Century. The Soviets focused on heavy industry - coal, iron and steel production, to the detriment of consumer goods. Soviet made consumer goods were rare, expensive and very poorly made. Soviet agriculture was always inefficient, and these inefficiencies meant that the Soviets had to import grain from the US & Canada several times in the 1970s - hitting their export / import balance sheet.
Social:
The Soviet Union faced two huge problems in the 1970s & 1980s.
1) The rise of Samizdat literature and dissident activity. Many writers began to "self-publish", using new, cheap, office photocopiers and mimeographs. On their own this was not to much of a problem, but as these works were circulated, so the idea that there were alternatives to the Soviet way began to make ground across the USSR.
2) Jewish refuseniks. Jews were, and are, allowed to move to Israel. The USSR refused exit visa to thousands of Jews who wanted to leave - this led to embarrassingly long queues at Israeli missions - these were shown on Soviet TV. The problem was "why would anyone want to leave the "workers' paradise"?". Once people began to question why the Jews wanted to leave, then they too began to question what alternatives to the Soviet way there might be. This led to a rise in nationalist sentiment in many of the Soviet Republics.
Political:
Brezhnev, and his co-ruler Kosygin, thought that all Khrushchev achieved was chaos, they wanted to stabilise the country and to reverse nearly all the reforms of Khrushchev. Probably the worst thing, for the Soviet Union, that they did was the policy of "stability of cadres". This policy was a response to Khrushchev's policy of moving bureaucrats around and promoting and demoting people. It had the effect of creating an ageing political class, who sought only to maintain their position. By the late 1970s the country was a gerontocracy - a country ruled by the elderly.
This exasperated the conservative communist government's hostility towards the youth, which, in turn, meant that when the regime was tottering they could not rely on the idealism of the young.
