While I hate to give credit to Bush for anything, so I'll give creadit to his speach writers on this one: IMO it really sums up relations between Canada and the US.

Bush's visit to this port city was linked to the Sept. 11 attacks, the defining event of his presidency and the spark for his eventual decision to invade Iraq.

On the day of the terror attacks against New York and Washington in 2001, some 33,000 passengers on airplanes bound for U.S. airports were diverted to Canadian provinces, including Nova Scotia.

``These were places that many aboard had never heard of. They are now places that few of the passengers will ever forget,'' Martin said.

Bush offered a belated thank you, and used the moment to seek a fresh start with Canadians.

``For days after Sept. 11, Canadians came to the aid of men and women and children who were worried and confused and had nowhere to sleep,'' the president said inside the Port 21 Museum, a historic site that was for decades a gateway for immigration and troop movements.

``You opened your homes and your churches to strangers, you brought food, you set up clinics, you arranged for calls to their loved ones, and you asked for nothing in return,'' the president said.

``Thank you for your kindness to America in an hour of need.''

``Beyond the words of politicians and the natural disagreements that nations will have, our two peoples are one family and always will be,'' he said.
