Canadians went out of their way to help Americans stranded in Canada after 9.11.2001. Why did Canadians help so much the way they did? We read that Canadians don't particularly like Americans to begin with.

As for “Canadians don’t particularly like Americans to begin with”, that’s a crock. Some Canadians don’t particularly like some Americans. Some Canadians don’t particularly like some of America’s policies.

I know, admire, and respect a number of Americans; some of them I’d give my last hundred bucks to if they needed it and never ask why. There’s also some Americans I wouldn’t let lick the sweat off my balls if they were dying of thirst (Trump is at the head of this list, in case you were wondering where I stand).

Because that’s what you do when your neighbour needs help. You help.

Why did my 2001 4.6 liter Mustang GT V8 make "only" 260 HP while today's base Dodge 3.6 liter V6 churns out almost 300 HP? Both benefit from fuel injection and ECUs.
