“Canada stands with you -- as friends and as family,” said Ambassador McKenna. “Our Prime Minister, Paul Martin, spoke to President Bush with the message that we are ready to help, ”at any time, in any way.“ And we are ready to help. You are our friends and together we are family -- you do not suffer alone. We were there after 9/11 with volunteers, teams of rebuilding experts and in fundraisers and rallies across Canada. After our terrible ice storms in the 1998, you were there to help us. In forest fires, floods and natural disasters, Canadians and Americans help each other.” For more information on Canada’s relief efforts, please visit http://www.CanadianAlly.com
