Wonders never cease!!!!!!!!!!
Bush joins other Americans in thanking Canada for Katrina relief efforts

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/cpress/20050909/ca_pr_on_wo/katrina_us_cda_thanks_1

snip - Bush was referring to two aspects of the wide range of aid being provided by Canadians to the hurricane-struck areas and its hundreds of thousands of displaced people.

Three Canadian warships - the destroyer HMCS Athabaskan, frigates HMCS Ville de Quebec and HMCS Toronto - and the Coast Guard ship Sir William Alexander left Halifax on Tuesday packed with relief supplies, helicopters to deliver them, and about 1,000 Canadian Forces personnel ready for a variety of chores. They are expected to arrive off the U.S. Gulf Coast sometime Saturday or Sunday, said Cheif of Defence Staff Gen. Rick Hillier.

Air Canada provided shuttle flights to help in the evacuation of about 25,000 people from New Orleans to San Antonio, Texas. The airline also used an Airbus passenger jet to fly a cargo of bottled water and relief supplies to New Orleans.
