“Also publicly recalling that, for well over 150 years now, there’s never been a single instance where EITHER nation failed to come to the other’s aid in time of domestic tragedy and/or catastrophe and, as well, that members of the Military from both have been awarded the other’s highest bravery/gallantry commendations on numerous occasions never fails to knot the panties FR’s moronic xenophobic minority while rightly earning appropriate cross-border gratitude.”
As I recall it, there was a ‘problem’ the first couple of days, a reason Powell didn’t acknowledge the Canadian government in the immediate aftermath.
You have to admit the government at that moment was in fact anti American, anti Bush. The snarky/ugly/profane comments that dribbled out during that time frame remain...well, snarky/ugly and profane.
I don’t for an instant believe those comments reflected the average Canadian, btw, far from it.
While readily acknowledging the sort of comments you refer to from time to time from various elements with both the Chretien & Martin Liberal regimes, I don't recall any in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.
Especially, with
two dozen of our own citizens murdered in the WTC - not to mention numerous other victims with family & friendship ties to Canada - and
massive pro-American rallies taking place all across the nation, commies with any brains whatsoever on both sides of the border STFU at least temporarily.
Further and in a more general sense, the left's anti-Americanism is deemed so nationally embarrassing as well as self-evidently detrimental to both cross-border goodwill & trade it tends to really rally the Conservative base up here:
Personally, rather than rely on RINO Powell, I'll go with the more trustworthy recollections of U.S. Navy Captain (Retired) David E. Meadows who was actually at the Pentagon on 9/11 when it comes to adjudging Canada's 9/11 response.
Thank you, Captain Meadows and God Bless America!
