In September, 2011 President Obama wrote a personal letter to Prime Minister Harper and all Canadians thanking them for coming to the rescue of tens of thousands of Americans on 9-11.
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.”
By the end of the day, more than 33,000 people, predominantly American, on 224 aircraft had arrived in Canada - primarily in Vancouver, Gander, Halifax, Goose Bay, Whitehorse, Edmonton and Calgary.
@KadriSens Relax everyone, his kids go to school here, his wife and her family are all here, they built their dream house, and he's still making millions. He obviously has to think of the big picture, which is his family.
@senstalk_ Could you wait until there is a confirmation? I know you're providing content but it's seriously not fair to Sens fans and possibly the players who are online to jump the gun
