Having lived across the river from Windsor all my life I've had a fondness for our Canadian neighbors for some time. Not only did they provide us with hockey and some great junk food they also have helped their American neighbors in times of need. A fire department from Vancouver BC arrived in LA two days after Hurricane Katrina with their search and rescue team to help out.
But one of the most heart felt gifts came from Gander Newfoundland which played host to the passengers of 38 aircraft which could not return to the US due to the airspace being closed. Tonight the CBC will show the docudrama Diverted about the incident; if you can get a Canadian station watch it, it is very good.
The Gander airport website has a great page with links dedicated to the story:
So to all those from Canada Thank You.
