We provided major assistance when 911 happened in clean up etc and Bush totally snubbed us not even mentioning we were a friend of USA in a state of the Union address shortly after that.
You must admit that Canada normally gets ignored when good things happen or for its success when it comes to American Press (hell try starting a Hate Canada Thread, and you will have strong GFY supporters on the issue)
I prefer to think of Canada as the phrase goes, Speak softly and carry a big stick.
