After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers.
Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

Would we send help to red states in the future?
I’d vote against that!
♥️🇨🇦
Fuck trump
I wish we had tags. So I could find this again.
Test.
Here's a doc on the musical they made about it.

As a Canadian will you buy nonUS made items when possible to make a statement with your wallet?
Or
Is it business as usual between US and Canada for the next 30 days?
Tariffs still over our heads … is the war over?
With dull unwillingness to repay a debt
Which with a bounteous hand was kindly lent”
- William Shakespeare, Richard III (Act 2, Scene 2)
We are so angry and disgusted by your president's actions towards us.
The planet significantly changed forever, today.
Signed, a proud and independent Canadian. #tariffs
Every day.
Never forget these good people.
I worked in a newsstand in d/t Halifax during 9/11 and we made a point to look out for USians staying in the hotels, extra ice creams, discounts and easing their days.
I remember one customer who came in and said she was from Manhattan. Her cousin worked in the towers, and she desperately wanted to get home to her family. She got a lot of hugs from staff. Still feels recent when I think about it. 💔
I was in London on 9/11
I was lucky; I had a hotel room and corporate plastic
but 100s of Londoners drove out to the airport to give stranded Americans a place to stay
and we have pissed that all away in Abu Ghraib and Trump
I have to post now, starting to cry
I did it proudly. Today I would refuse the order.

And yeah, not all of us, OBVIOUSLY. Buy enough of us.

Trump didn’t care for those people. If our fallen soldiers were suckers and losers to him, what were these people to him?

The production I saw was all things truthful touching funny and heartbreaking
WAY better than I expected
Thank you, Canada. 🇨🇦
Please know that we, rational Americans, are very sorry for this current shitshow.
No one knew what was happening. They thought more planes had terrorists and said u take 'em.
And we did.
Canada took potential terrorist strikes for america on that day.
Something told me I needed to.
Then I told all my US friends to watch it.
If you ever get the chance to see the play, do it. It’s absolutely fantastic.
The composers (married couple) did a fundraiser in a spot about a km from us for her mom’s retirement home (lives in my Town).
We went. It was great - stories about how it came together, how amazing the response was, music from the play… Was very cool!
What school?
Canada is the best of the best.
I'm so sorry. 💔
A production that makes you cry with pride. 🇨🇦
He could never make America great in any way because everything he does makes it an embarrassment. He made it great again only once, by losing to Biden.

No more Starbucks for me. No Walmart
No Amazon
No Uber
No Pepsi
No Costco
No Jack Daniels
No orange juice
No Home Depot
No U.S. vacations
When I stop to buy anything I will google who owns it. If it’s U.S. then it’s a NO!
(Yes, I know google is U.S.) But will use it against them.
F Trump
But - Costco? I thought they were one of the good ones!
Read labels there, but don’t include them. They truly are one of the very few good ones.

Everyone likes to stop for a chat 😂
The US has been blessed to have great neighbors.
It never gives
Canada’s military projection consists of 3 frigates, 2 fighter jet squadrons, & 1 mechanized brigade.
Canada relies on 3 oceans & a strong neighbor.
Thinking about that today...for no particular reason.
1985 Air India Flight 182 Bombing
2006 Ontario Terrorism Plot
2013 Via Rail Canada Terrorism Plot
Canada's National Terrorism Threat Level RIGHT NOW remains at "Medium," indicating that a violent act of terrorism could occur.
Try harder.
Thinking about treacherous blackguards to day for no particular reason.
(Not very nice when YOU'RE attacked and called names).
Well, enjoy your descent into third-world nation status!
i hope you find them soon.
we poor have already lived this extreme reality for decades.
we get it. ✊🏻🩶
Embarrassed and angry to have a convicted felon and morally bankrupt as POTUS 🤮🤬
I think MAGA needs to see more theatre.
