We may not always see eye-to-eye.
And often we playfully tease each other.
But when the poop hits the fan, we’re there for each other.
I was recently reminded of this when a Canadian soldier was shot in Ottawa.
President Obama assured Canadians that America would stand with us.
American citizens offered their support and condolences.
On a personal level, many of my American friends offered their sympathy and support.
So as you sit around your tables tomorrow surrounded by loved ones and declaring your thankfulness, know that your Canadian brothers and sisters are raising a glass to you in grateful expression.
Happy Thanksgiving USA. May our friendship and mutual support endure forever.
The video below still brings a tear to my eye when I watch it.
Before a hockey game in Pittsburg between two American teams, O Canada is sung in support of Ottawans and Canadians across the country in response to the shooting of an unarmed Canadian soldier standing guard at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

May God bless our southern neighbours this Thanksgiving season. We love you!
