9/11 & Gander; Kenneth Taylor
In Response To: Nice gesture from Canada ()

If you really want a heartwarming story about our neighbors, Google "9/11" and "Gander." Towns across Canada took in unexpected visitors when American airspace was suddenly closed, and ll those planes heading to the USA from Europe suddenly had no place to land.

Consider also the generosity of the Canadian embassy in Tehran when Iranian "students" took all those Americans hostage. The recent movie "Argo" downplayed the bravery of Canadian Ambassador Kenneth Taylor in favor of the CIA story line, but he will forever be remembered as a hero to many Americans.
