Agreed. Your Memorial day or, in Canada, our Remembrance day, is testament to that.
I think one reverent & respectful holiday is enough though, otherwise all the dates of past horrific tragedies should be declared holidays as well. Declaring new holidays puts an amazing drain on the economy as well.
And buddy, you forget that there were some Canadians on those planes involved in Sept. 11th attacks, and there were about 240-300 reported CANADIANS in the wtc that lost their lives, which of course affects thousands of lives of their freinds and relatives back here in Canada as well. So next time you open your hole and dis Canadians, you best remember that Canadians and Americans are not so very far apart on most things in this life. Think before giving attitude.
