Canadians went out of their way to help Americans stranded in Canada after 9.11.2001. Why did Canadians help so much the way they did? We read that Canadians don't particularly like Americans to begin with.

Because that’s what you do when your neighbour needs help. You help.

As for “Canadians don’t particularly like Americans to begin with”, that’s a crock. Some Canadians don’t particularly like some Americans. Some Canadians don’t particularly like some of America’s policies.

I know, admire, and respect a number of Americans; some of them I’d give my last hundred bucks to if they needed it and never ask why. There’s also some Americans I wouldn’t let lick the sweat off my balls if they were dying of thirst (Trump is at the head of this list, in case you were wondering where I stand).

Is it overstating to say that AI is on a par with the invention of fire, electricity, flight, or the Internet in its ability to transform our lives?
