Gander, Newfoundland is also the only place outside the US where there is a piece of the World Trade Center. We sent it there in thanks to the people of Gander for sheltering the passengers of all the transatlantic flights that were in the air on 9/11. Canadians are our friends, folks.
*ETA*: I am apparently behind the times (I'm old, it happens a lot now) and there are indeed now pieces of the WTC in several other places around the world. The commonality of all of them is that they were given to countries who are our allies (I am American) and who President Trump is now actively shitting on and trying to make into our enemies. My overall point with the post is that the Canadian people (or the Brits, or the Kiwis, or anyone else) are not the enemies of the American people like President Jackass and his masters would like everyone to believe. These nations are our friends and we should be treating them as such.
To Canada (and France, and the UK, and everyone else): know that there are American people who remember and value your friendship, going all the way back to the aid from France at the founding of our nation. We are sorry about the current President and his antics.

Lots of Americans were taken in by Canadians when flights were diverted after 9/11.

They were so grateful that they made the movie Argo and took all the credit.
