Well, I remember the President's Address to the Nation where the "snub" occurred. I was curious, I'll admit, as to why Canada was left off of the thank you list ... for about 10 seconds. However, I didn't let it get to me. What did occur to me though is how it would play out in the Canadian MSM. I knew it wouldn't go over well. The libs and their mouthpiece CBC would start complaining and then the liberal sheep would start mewing. Of course, that is what occurred and the rest is history ... I'd like to think at least. I'm sure the issue will resurface via the lefties.
Hi NorthOf45....
Speaking of snubs...do you remember how long it took Chretien to finally make his way down to Ground Zero? It was long after other leaders had taken the time and cared enough to go.
You have tweaked my memory with your post. I believe I can also recall a very brief 3 second questioning in my mind as I listened, as to why Canada hadn't been mentioned more specifically. But like cakecrumb I was much more focused on the action plan that was being laid out.
Even now it's difficult to remember some aspects of those days. The sleeplessness and stress itself probably contributes to the blurring of details in memory.
You're right about the press and the libs. They love to nurse a grudge.
