By the way, the NF natives are the best. Certainly after 9/11 they became the innkeepers to many a stranger that landed at Gander.
+ 1 on that!
I had friends on both Newfoundland and at in Yellowknife on Great Slave Lake who took in a dozen stranded people each when ALL airline traffic was grounded (mostly American).
They fed and housed them for a long bloody while before flights gradually resumed.
I've lost contact with these friends of mine, but I know that the people they helped were still staying in touch with cards in 2018 - quite classy I thought, well done Americans!
