Zohran Mamdani is at St. Patrick’s Cathedral attending the 9/11 Mass with President Joe Biden.
JD Vance was invited to the same Mass but declined. Instead, he’s giving a hate speech at the Republican midterm convention.
That tells you everything you need to know about the MAGA Republican Party.
In September 2011, ahead of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, President Barack Obama sent a personal letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper thanking Canada and Canadians for their help during Operation Yellow Ribbon.
He wrote: “In one of the darkest moments of our history, Canada stood by our side and showed itself to be a true friend.” “We remember with gratitude and affection how the people of Canada offered us the comfort of friendship and extraordinary assistance that day and in the following days by opening their airports, homes and hearts to us.” “On this anniversary, we recognize all the gestures of friendship and solidarity shown to us by Canada and its people and give thanks for our continuing special relationship.”
Under Operation Yellow Ribbon, more than 33,000 passengers on 224 diverted flights were rerouted to 17 Canadian airports, including Vancouver, Gander, Halifax, Goose Bay, Whitehorse, Edmonton and Calgary.
I am the Canadian refusing to step foot in America under this administration. Raise your hand ✋in the comments if you’re boycotting U.S. travel too. Because: guess what? It’s working. The US economy just took a $4.5 billion hit from declining Canadian tourism. All Trump’s fault!
