Well, most of us seem to remember both. We remember how Canada threw themselves in to the war to help out their "mother" country, and that we followed in suit when we didn't have much of an option left. I think U.S. president Bush showed this in his speech, clearly showing how Canada was and is strong and does stand up for what it believes in. He really pushed the friendship that Canada and the U.S. has, and most likely always will have. Using the good example of the Canadians taking in about 33,000 stranded passengers while our airspace was closed. I think this is a good first step to mending the ties between the two countries.

Bush made a clever joke at the press conference. "I'd like to thank everyone that came out to show their support, with all five fingers".Okay, not so funny right now, but if you hear him, it was pretty good.

And on a side note. I didn't know Anti-American Carolyn Parrish was kicked out of parliament for stomping on a Bush doll. Looks like she didn't know how to bite her tongue.
