It only takes 3 years to say thank you, eh?
So it only takes 3 years to say thank you for this. I wonder how long it will take for him to say thank you to Gander, which went under a heavier strain than Halifax as far as accommodating the planes and passengers.

Ottawa, Canada, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- U.S. President George Bush will visit Nova Scotia during his Canadian visit next week to thank residents for their help after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Sources in Ottawa told the Globe and Mail Bush will go to Halifax Wednesday morning after spending Tuesday in Ottawa in business talks with Prime Minister Paul Martin.
Residents in and around Halifax opened their homes to house hundreds of air passengers stranded after the terror attacks. Bush was criticized for a speech to Congress nine days after the attacks in which he failed to mention Canada's role in providing aid to the United States.
Sources told the newspaper the leaders' meeting in Ottawa is not expected to deliver much in the way of announcements. The pair is expected to discuss a number of issues, including help for the Caribbean nation of Haiti and the rebuilding process in Iraq.

Transcript: Bush, Prime Minister Chretien at the White House
(Bush thanks Canadians for support following Sept. 11 attacks) (840)
"You know, after this terrible incident on September 11th, one of the first phone calls I received was from the Prime Minister, offering all his support and condolences to the United States and our citizens. It was like getting a phone call from a brother. And I appreciate that so very much. "
"An amazing thing came up the other day. Somebody said to me, well, you know, in your speech to Congress, there were some(MsMittens) that took affront in Canada because I didn't mention the name. I didn't necessarily think it was important to praise a brother; after all, we're talking about family. "
"There should be no doubt in anybody's mind about how honored we are to have the support of the Canadians, and how strong the Canadian Prime Minister has been. And not only his condolences, but his offer of support for the American people. I guess there's -- somebody is playing politics with you, Mr. Prime Minister. "
Egg on your face! You're not supposed to eat eggs on Thanksgiving Day ~"An act of giving thanks; an expression of gratitude,"
