Canada and U.S.A.

A Friend Not A Foe

Jean Chretien’s words spoken at Gander’s 9/11 Memorial Ceremony

“Yes, Canada is a generous, open country, and Canadians are tolerant and kind, but never mistake our generosity for weakness.”

“Never, never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination, and never, never mistake our kindness for softness.”

“We know who we are, and we are proud of it. Building a country like this, with this climate and this geography, is a sign of toughness, not of weakness”.

“Welcoming people from all over the world, caring for each other, including the weakest in society, is a sign of strength. We embrace our friends, and we help them in their moment of need.

“But we bow to no one.”

“The more we are insulted or threatened and abused, the more we will stand up for ourself and stand united. And I say that not in anger, but as one friend to another.”

-end-

In regards to the dispute between Canada and the United States of America it should be understood that we Canadians have no ill-will towards any American citizen. There might be a couple in the Government we don’t like, but all-in-all we embrace our neighbors to the south. We love and promote your idea of freedom and democracy. We especially love your products! We’ve always believed in fair trade and as neighbors will continue to do trade over the longest unprotected boarder in the world.

Jean Chretien’s speech in Gander N.L. during the 9/11 memorial ceremony is not intended to oppose, but to reassure our neighbors that we are a beautiful, strong ally who, at the drop of a hat, would stand behind our neighbor in peace or in war, with no questions asked.
I would like to believe that any nation would welcome a country who citizens embody these characteristics as a friend and not a foe.
And to have these people as neighbors should be an honor and always be respected regardless of governmental disagreements.

Respectfully

Michael Plante

"Jeffersons" star Sherman Hemsley never publicly discussed being homosexual, but since his death, friends and co-workers have confirmed this fact, and he has been warmly accepted as a Gay Icon by the Men's Community. 1938-2012. #shermanhemsley #gayicon #thejeffersons #allinthefamily #archiebunker #neighbor #neighbors #movingonup #eastside #drycleaner #drycleaners #homosexuality #closet #closeted #inthecloset #bigotry #homophobia #endhomophobia #idol #hero #comedian #humorous #hilarious

Good timing for NACTO (an association of North American #cities and #transit agencies formed to exchange #transportation ideas, insights, and practices and cooperatively approach national transportation issues) to have its 2026 Designing Cities conference in #Minneapolis, May 12-15. https://events.bizzabo.com/designingcities2026?mc_cid=7556cbed44&mc_eid=9ab2822fa2

As Thomas L. Friedman suggested in March 15 column “Why Minnesota Matters More Than Iran for America’s Future”:
"For anyone outside of #Minnesota who wants to help, the best thing you can do is #vacation in the #TwinCities or hold your next #convention here.”

Don’t miss the chance to take a loved one to an Open Streets event, like South Monterey County’s King City Ciclovia on October 19, 2025. https://bikemonterey.org/ciclovia-king-city-a-monterey-county-open-streets-event.html

We took our beloved friend, Selwa Said, to the first King City Ciclovia, April 14, 2019. The 2025 event is just the 3rd Ciclovia in King City. So special to bike, skate, scoot, walk, run, or—as Selwa did—roll in a wheelchair on car-free streets! How we wish we could take Selwa again! She passed on March 9, 2020. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/montereyherald/name/selwa-said-obituary?id=7911219 / https://bikemonterey.org/322-outstanding-women-of-monterey-county-2015.html

I have never had the desire to fly the EGA from my porch... but now I am considering doing so to give the neighbors the idea that I am totally unhinged. #guns #usmc #marine #marinecorps #military #neighbors #crazy #unhinged #offtherails #ega #flag #home #defense #homedefense #mentalillness
