根据Global News消息，近日加拿大与美国在贸易问题上争议不断，美国总统特朗普甚至多次攻击加拿大总理杜鲁多。然而，在推特上却开始了一波#ThanksCanada活动，很多美国人通过分享自己的个人经历表达了对加拿大的感谢。
美国音乐作家兼评论家David Wild似乎是最早发起这一活动的人，他呼吁同胞感谢加拿大所给美国人带来的东西。
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

美国前外交官和驻联合国大使Nicholas Burns则指出了加拿大援助美国的几个例子。
#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

创作歌手Mary Gauthier感谢加拿大政府对艺术家的态度。
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

来自微软的Ned Pyle指出了加拿大在9/11恐怖袭击期间是如何发挥重要作用的。
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，还有很多美国人在许多方面表达了对加拿大人的感谢。
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.

#ThanksCanada for welcoming 50,000 Americans who wished to avoid the Vietnam draft and for being a true beacon of freedom for refugees from across the globe. Thanks for Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, BTO, hockey, James Naismith and the inspiration of Tommy Douglas. #ThankCanada
