Actually I don't find a bit of difference one side of the border to the other when it comes to the average citizen. The mainstream people in attitude are like two peas in a pod. In generosity you haven't done your homework. Where ever there is a problem one of the first countries to offer assistance is the US. An example was back in the spring of 1972 the North Thompson river overflowed it's banks at Kamloops BC. Flooding hundreds of homes and the evacuation of the families. The community was ill prepared for shuh high water levels. As the news spread. Without asking or warning a convoy of American transport trucks rolled up across the border from Washington and Idaho loaded with sandbags to build diking. They unloaded and returned home never asking for a cent for transport or the sandbags. I do not know if they were paid by their own government or what. But there was no request for them by them for the assistance. It just happened. Those kind of neighbors no one regrets having. Personally I believe many Canadians and left wing news sources do a great disservice in their consistent derogatory remarks about the southern neighbors who they depend on for survival. Approximately 68% of all Canadian businesses are foreign owned. 50 % by the US. Including everything from Sears, Tim Horton's, WalMart, McDonalds, Starbucks, drug stores to the majority of Canadian National Rail. Canadas oil & gas producers and Tar Sand companies. Even the domestic auto industry, plus Hotel chains and big luxury resorts are American owned. Just to name a few. Canada is in fact nothing more than an extension of US funding. bbc.com
