Shortly after WWII, one of my father's Canadian aunts came to visit my parents in Austin. She lectured them about how the Americans would not have been successful winning the war in Europe without help from the superior Canadian troops. She said this knowing that my father was an American veteran and his brother (serving in the US Army) was KIA in Germany on 7 April 1945. I thought this woman was an anomaly, but perhaps there are many of them.

I can't link it because the interview just happened. But look up the interview with the kid who scored the winning goal in ot.
It was all for the country, so proud of the USA, etc.
A nice change from the skiers and figure skaters trashing their own country.
Hockey players from the US are overwhelmingly conservative, for the same reasons a majority of professional American baseball players and golfers are conservative. They're all high barrier to entry sports.
Daughter played volleyball. Every now and again there would be a tournament in one of those big sports centers that had ice rinks and we got to watch parents hauling in wagonloads of gear for their hockey kids.
Been there, done that! I've got a great story about what happens when teams of 15-16 year old boys are staying in the same hotel as 15-16 year old girls for tournaments. Don't want to derail thread. Another time, maybe.

The arrogance is so blinding. This is the same kind of crap the Russians feed their people. That they could have won the war on their own without American goods, industry, and victory ships.
That being said - I knew some now deceased Canadian men who LOVED their WW2 American GI brothers. But the attitude in Canada, as expressed in their largely state controlled media, is distinctly anti-American. It's disgraceful.

This means more than most folks realize.
Perspective. Appreciation. Patriotism. Thatās all our troops ask for. Means everything.
