< No one in their right mind moves to Canada if they can get a US visa. You
moved to Canada because you could not get a visa to stay in the US. That is

while Mario Gouveia says what he has to say about US v Canada, we must
remember that the two neighbours are very cooperative with each other -
mindful of their own desires to be not shackled to each other.
The following story indicates HOW the two countries cooperate with each
other in the time of need

Virgin aircraft mistakenly prompts hijack alert
03/06/2005 - 16:00:04
A Virgin Atlantic Airways plane bound for New York from London today
transmitted a false hijack alert, the airline said. The aircraft nonetheless
was diverted to land in Canada, US officials said.
Canadian fighter jets intercepted the airliner over the Atlantic, the US
officials said.
An airline spokeswoman said airline officials had been in touch with the
crew and confirmed that there was no emergency aboard the aircraft.
The cause of the signal transmission was not immediately known, the
spokeswoman said.
In Washington, Homeland Security Department spokeswoman Katie Montgomery
said that Virgin Airlines Flight 45 was en route from London to John F
Kennedy International Airport in New York, when the aircraft began emitting
code 7500, which indicates a hijacking is in progress.
�Communications have been made with the pilots,� Montgomery said. �The
pilots are indicating there is no hijack.�
Homeland Security is checking other indicators to confirm the pilots�
information, she said.
The plane was diverted to Canada, Montgomery said.
