Two pictures side by side, of two identically dressed sailors, who might be the same person, on two nearly identical boats, which might be the same boat, both hoisting flags. On the left frame, the American flag, on the right, the Canadian flag. We are not in the same boat, but we are pretty much in the same waters. ARTHUR MEIGHEN, PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA, ADDRESS ON CANADIAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS, 1937

A man in dirty work clothes and a dark coloured hard hat stands in front of a shadowy garage. Only the grille of a car can be seen behind him. The Canadian is often a baffled man because he feels different from his British kindred and his American neighbours, sharply refuses to be lumped with either of them, yet cannot make plain this difference. J. B. PRIESTLEY, BRITISH WRITER, THE BODLEY HEAD LEACOCK, 1957

A group of well dressed people surround a baby grand piano in a parlour with a case of fine China in the background. We share common values from the past...common aspirations for the future, our future, and indeed the future of all mankind. JOHN F. KENNEDY, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, OTTAWA, 1961

In the left panel, a woman in a bathing suit sitting on a ledge beside a precariously piled stack of Molson Export and Labatt’s Blue stubbies and tall bottles. A man in tan shorts with a Canadian flag patch walks behind on the ledge. In the right panel, a vending machine with salted peanuts, Chuckles, Boyer milk chocolate and peanut butter cups and $100,000 bars, all priced at 15 cents. A hand lettered sign says “Please!!! Do not use Canadian Coins. They plug machine” Underneath, the prompt: On y va sans encombre, à peu près sans formalités, par-dessus une frontière que l'on ne perçoit guère qu'à la différence de prix des cigarettes. MAURICE GENEVOIX, ECRIVAIN FRANÇAIS, CANADA, 1945

Two boys, one in a Canadian flag t-shirt, fishing off a pier. Canada and the United States have reached the point where we no longer think of each other as "foreign" countries. We think of each other as friends. HARRY S. TRUMAN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, OTTAWA, 1947

Our frontier has long been immune from conflict, it is true, but it has suffered grievously from the effects of rhetoric...some of the realities have been obscured by the clouds of oratory which hang over this famous border. It has long been undefended, but realists have observed that the disparity of population has made armaments for one country futile and for the other superfluous. VINCENT MASSEY, GOVERNOR GENERAL OF CANADA, ON BEING CANADIAN, 1948

A collage of signs found near the Canada/US border. BETWEEN FRIENDS/ENTRE AMIS was produced to honour the American Revolution Bicentennial and is presented as an enduring expression of the friendship of Canadians for the people of the United States of America 1776-1976 ENTRE AMIS/BETWEEN FRIENDS Par ce recueil réalisé à l'occasion du Bicentenaire de la Révolution américaine le peuple canadien souhaite exprimer au peuple des Etats-Unis son sentiment de fidèle amitié FOREWORD This book is about people-about the Canadians and Americans who live in harmony close to that long thin line known as the International Boundary. It is about the boundary itself, which both links these people and helps to define their separate national identities. This book is also a celebration -a joyful recognition of that striking triumph of the human spirit reflected in the atmosphere of peace and friendship which pervades the many relationships between two proud and free nations. It is a celebration, as well, of the two hundredth anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence, and of the innumerable accomplishments of a great country during two centuries of freedom. No one should think it strange that Canadians should involve themselves in the observance of an American anniversary. Over hundreds of years we have worked and played together, laughed and mourned together, fought side by side against common enemies. Our two peoples have helped each other repair the havoc of natural disasters, inspired and applauded each other, opened our hearts and our homes to each other as to valued and welcome friends. Let no one seek to devalue the achievements of our friendship by glossing over its occasional difficulties. It is true that, as is not uncommon among lifelong friends, we have sometimes had serious differences of opinion, misunderstood each other, struggled against each other's competing ambitions. Long ago we even fought each other, usually in relation to the very boundary which this book illuminates. The true nature of our international relationship, however, is revealed by the fact that it is defined not by our differences, but by our capacity and eagerness to resolve them. Our International Boundary, and the men and women who view it from opposite sides, have a vitally important lesson to teach other members of the community of nations. It is well expressed on a plaque marking the border line between Alaska and the Yukon Territory - a plaque … AVANT-PROPOS Ce volume évoque deux peuples, les Canadiens et les Américains, deux peuples fortement caractérisés qui voisinent harmonieusement de part et d'autre d'une très longue et très discrète frontière. Ses images disent la belle réussite humaine dont témoigne le climat de paix et d'amitié dans lequel deux pays aussi fiers et aussi libres que le Canada et les Etats-Unis entretiennent des rapports si nombreux et complexes. Par la publication de ce recueil, les Canadiens entendent marquer le deux-centième anniversaire de la Déclaration d'indépendance des Etats-Unis et rendre hommage aux innombrables réalisations de cette grande nation. Il est tout naturel que le Canada veuille s'associer à cet anniversaire. Nos deux peuples fraternisent depuis si longtemps dans le travail et la détente, dans la joie et dans le deuil. Menacés par des ennemis communs, ils luttent côte à côte; éprouvés par quelque désastre, ils s'entraident spontanément; ils s'inspirent, ils s'encoura-gent, ils s'applaudissent mutuellement; ils se visitent très volontiers. Il est vrai que, comme cela arrive souvent entre vieux amis, nous avons eu parfois de sérieuses divergences d'opinions, des malentendus, voire des aspirations contradic-toires. Il y a longtemps, longtemps, nous nous sommes même battus. Mais ces heurts occasionnels ne sauraient faire douter d'une amitié qui a donné tant de preuves de sa solidité. Les hommes et les femmes que distingue si humainement la frontière canado-américaine ont un message capital à communiquer aux autres membres de la communauté mondiale, message exprimé avec un singulier bonheur sur la plaque posée à la ligne de démarcation de l'Alaska et du Yukon, et sur laquelle on lit que l'amitié entre le Canada et les Etats-Unis est "un exemple de paix pour toutes les nations".

Found this on my bookshelf the other day. Seems topical. I think I’ll post some pages every once in a while.
