As a canadian FReeper I am shock and disgust from reading the this thread.
Not me. It says more about the person posting, than about what is said. I presume you are refering to adverse comments. Again the offer is to those who have suffered. Taking my daughter and grand daughters over to Chippewa County, Michigan for the County Fair tommorow. Never had anything but a welcome in 40 years of going.
We are twin cities and each has helped the other during emergencies over the years. Perhaps I digress, but anyway, keep the faith.
