Canada’s Quiet Strength in Gander | Irvine News

Former PM Jean Chrétien delivered a heartfelt yet firm message at Gander’s 25th anniversary of its heroic response to 9/11, reminding the world—especially the U.S. Ambassador—that Canada’s kindness is not weakness. He praised Gander’s legendary hospitality during the crisis, when the town sheltered nearly 7,000 stranded travelers, and reaffirmed Canada’s unwavering support for its neighbor. Amid recent tensions over trade and tariffs, Chrétien stressed that Canada’s generosity stems from strength, not softness—and called for a renewed friendship built on mutual respect and equality, ending with a warm wish for both nations’ enduring prosperity.
