根據Global News消息，近日加拿大與美國在貿易問題上爭議不斷，美國總統特朗普甚至多次攻擊加拿大總理杜魯多。然而，在推特上卻開始了一波#ThanksCanada活動，很多美國人通過分享自己的個人經歷表達了對加拿大的感謝。

美國音樂作家兼評論家David Wild似乎是最早發起這一活動的人，他呼籲同胞感謝加拿大所給美國人帶來的東西。

My Fellow Americans, let's all #ThankCanada for things we love they've brought to our lives. I'll start: #ThanksCanada for @NeilYoung, @SCTV, @JoniMitchellcom, @Drake, #LeonardCohen, @celinedion, @KITHOnline. The Pursuit Of Happiness featuring @moeTPOH. Also hockey is cool. pic.twitter.com/Ec9GZBwbmA

美國前外交官和駐聯合國大使Nicholas Burns則指出了加拿大援助美國的幾個例子。

#Canada spirited four American hostages out of Iran in 1979, welcomed thousands of stranded U.S. airline passengers on 9/11, has our back in every war, shares the world’s longest undefended border with us and a symbiotic North American economy. THE best neighbor we could have. https://t.co/6c9qcPXn3C

創作歌手Mary Gauthier感謝加拿大政府對藝術家的態度。

My travels as an artist take me into Canada several times a year. I LOVE Canada and the Canadian people. The Canadian government actively supports the arts. They do this WAY better than the US gov’t, and I am forever grateful. #ThanksCanada https://t.co/e5A2GZbq7R

來自微軟的Ned Pyle指出了加拿大在9/11恐怖襲擊期間是如何發揮重要作用的。

On 9/11, thousands of Americans on 238 airliners were diverted to Canada as part of Operation Yellow Ribbon. Canada cared for them for days, The small town of Gander took in 7,000 people alone. In our hour of need, Canada was there.

And this orange maggot calls them an enemy

此外，還有很多美國人在許多方面表達了對加拿大人的感謝。

I met @JustinTrudeau in February. I said #ThanksCanada for being California’s 2nd largest trading partner, directly supporting over 1.1 million CA jobs. He was gracious and well spoken. I wish a Canadian legislator was able to say the same after meeting our head of state. pic.twitter.com/GRk6AQdP0Q

#thankscanada I have always admired the love and support our neighbors have given the US. Even when I was a little girl on a visit to Montreal, I had great love for the resilience of the Canadians. Bless you and Trudeau. We will get through this together.
