It comes from four years of defending this wonderful president of yours.

It comes from four years of defending this wonderful president of yours.

And please accept my warmest thanks. Your efforts are deeply appreciated by many Americans.

My pleasure, indeed.

Stand up for what is right, even if you stand alone.

"He made me feel proud to be Canadian for the first time in a long while. He is a true friend of Canada."

I am amazed at this man. The good impression he made in Halifax may even help the conservatives in Canada to turn the tide.

I am an Alaskan, Edmonton and Calgary seem to be fairly conservative towns judging by the radio talk shows driving through there. Banff (the park) was truly great. What part of Alberta are you from?

"That day Canada took in more than 250 aircraft with 43,895 people (the number the book gives). Gander, a town of about 10,000 received 38 planes with 6,595 passengers. The kindness, hospitality, and sharing by the Canadians that day and the week following do indeed deserve recognition and thanks by no less than the President of the United States."

I agree.

Let me also add that, though I am not the President of the United States and am, instead, an average American citizen, I wish to add my most heartfelt thanks to all those Canadian citizens of Gander, Halifax, and every other town, city, and village, who so generously opened up their hearts and their homes to my fellow countrymen on that awful day in 2001.

Thanks, Canada.

You may be interested in knowing that many folks in Latin America refer to those of us in the USA as "norteamericanos", or "North Americans".

I think the folks in Latin America refer to the people of Canada as "canadians".

Thanks for the historical perspective. I hadn't thought of what the alternative might be if we didn't go by the title "Americans."

That's the spirit! With that kind of attitude, we'll make you an honorary "American." ;-)

Why, thank you.

If you send me a green card and take my money at equal value, I'll start packing!

Canadian money buys 100 equivalent value in Duluth motels and some restaurants.

What the heck would motivate French-speaking Canadians to put cheese on French fries in the first place ?

Miss. Beazley has to attend puppy school first, poor baby. Maybe Barney will rescue her and we'll get to see the video for Christmas!

Sooooo, when was the last time a "prank" like that was pulled on, oh, let's pull a name out of a hat....John Kerry?

I'd tell your friends that Kerry or Gore would have said the same thing Dubya did.

I think they pretty much put cheese on everything, non?

They sell poutine in Kentucky Fried Chicken places and just about everywhere now.

I think it is not only cheese, but gravy as well, all over the fries. Like the fries themselves aren't bad enough!
Maybe they are trying to kill us off, one by one, province by province.

Maybe it's an evil plot of the French to completely take over Canada. Perhaps this dish is served everywhere in Canada, but Quebec!

Yeah, that's the stuff. Is that poutine? But don't you first melt the curds, or does the gravy do that?

Well, if you eat this up in Quebec, then it's not a conspiracy to take over. My apologies...unless it is only served to conservatives in Quebec. 8^)

John Kerry would have said that he knew Jean Poutine from Vietnam and they spent Christmas in Cambodia together.
