  Dear President Bush and the American People 

      I am sending my sincere condolences, prayers, and sympathy
in light of the recent atrocities. 

Ottawa, Canada
The Canadian people are all in disbelief and feel 
  your pain and sorrow. 
I feel obliged to apologize for the Canadian Government,
in particular, our Prime Minister, 
for their apparent lack of courtesy, regard and caring for 
not only the lost souls of the United States,
but also Canada in that tragedy. 
The Canadian people do not agree 
  with our Prime Minister and have
deep shame and embarrassment for the way he has dealt with this.
 We are appalled!  We all feel the least he could have 
  done was to go to New York and pay his respects on behalf of Canadians. 

Ottawa, Canada
We do not blame you in the least for not mentioning Canada
in your speech when you talked about best friends. 
How could you address an empty chair!
I wish you could see the real feelings of the Canadian public. 
The outpouring of sympathy standing in lineups 
to give blood, hanging American flags on their homes, 
holding candlelight ceremonies, filling churches praying, 
fund raising and some going down to New York to volunteer their help. 
We honor those who are putting their lives at risk to help with this tragedy. 
Please do not judge all Canadians on the actions 
or lack of on the part of our Prime Minister.
We are very proud to have America 
as our neighbor and friend and stand behind 
your decisions to obliterate terrorism.

Toronto, Canada
 Canada has to change their policies and laws in regard to this,
and we, as the people, have been demanding this for years. 
All we've received for our efforts is cut backs to our military and RCMP.
 For this we are also furious, embarrassed, and ashamed. 
I know you personally won't have time to 
  read this letter but I hope somehow, the American people will now know how 
  we feel up here, that they are loved, respected and prayed for. 

  Yours in great sympathy, 
A Concerned Canadian

Toronto, Canada
