40,000 Canadians served alongside America in Afghanistan as part of NATO article 5 after 9/11. 158 of them died.

Thousands of other veterans of the war were wounded physically and psychologically, leading to many deaths by suicide.
Dad and many relatives fought side by side with America in WWII. One of dad's cousins was killed in action in Italy. He was 21 years old.
Trump just threw all this out the window.

1. Thank you for reminding people of that. I would add that Canada did not ask us to give them our oil or minerals.

2. We Respect & Honor Our Canadian Neighbors!

3. And there was Gandar

In Gander
“In Gander Canadians did extraordinary things for Americans when they needed it. Now, we need to do extraordinary things for ourselves.” Gander opened its arms to nearly 6,600 airline passengers diverted there when the U.S. government shut down airspace during 9/11.

In a matter of a few hours, the town population of 10,000 in 2001 was overwhelmed by 38 planeloads of travelers, yet locals went to work in their kitchens and cleaned up spare rooms to offer space and food to the newcomers.

When more than 200 flights were diverted to Canada following the attacks on the United States, the ns shunted the traffic away from Toronto and Montreal to the eastern seaboard.

Obscure, little-used Gander got to relive its glory days as a stopover point for trans-Atlantic aviation before long-distance flights became possible. Built in 1938 in anticipation of the coming world war, it had the world’s longest runway, and on 9/11 it was the second busiest, taking in 38 flights to Halifax, Nova Scotia’s 47.

"Juno was one of the toughest landing beaches the Allied faced on D-Day.

Starting late because of tidal conditions, whipped off course by choppy waters, and running into a heavily defended killing zone, Canadian D-Day casualties were heavy.

Canada forces on D-Day took a total of 1,096 casualties, of which 381 were killed in action.

Total Allied D-Day casualties reached more than 10,000.

By the end of the Battle of Normandy, the Allies had suffered 209,000 casualties. Canadian casualties in Normandy exceeded 18,700. Over 5,000 Canadian soldiers were killed."

5. He has no right or authority to throw it out a window.

NATO abides, and Article 5 is now invoked against his Russian-backed occupation regime by default even if no one will say so.

6. It's him and every cult member who voted for him

along with all of the non-voters.

7. Don't know about other wars, but you were our allies in WWI, WW2, Korea, Aghanistan, etc.

For all of my 65 years Canadians have always had our back. No one in my household voted for this, nor will we. We actively look for products from Canada to purchase. We are worried for the businesses on both sides. These tariffs are insane! Trump is being influenced on foreign policy by assets of Russia. Trump has to fail--and he will. Unfortunately he will take a lot of people with him first. It will get much worse, and we all have to do what we can to mitigate his damage. Choose wisely in your elections, dear friend. Things went downhill so quickly here--that's what is so frightening. But I refuse to give up or give in. Just want you to know that there will always be a family on this side of the border that is still your ally and friend. We are eternally grateful to your country and your family, especially your father's cousin. We will never forget! Take care, and stay safe and well.
