Many people enjoyed a free breakfast on Saturday at Windsor, Ont.‘s restaurant, Toast, as an unknown American couple paid for everyone’s bill. The gesture acted as an apology for the rift between Canada and the U.S.

Windsorite Susan Taylor was at Toast, ready to pay for her breakfast when she was told the bill had been covered.

“The waitress made an announcement in the restaurant that this lovely couple in the corner is paying for everyone who is in the restaurant at the time for breakfast,” Taylor told AM800’s Mornings with Mike and Meg.

“She (the donor) said that she was American, and she just wanted to apologize,” said Taylor.

“She said she knows that their president has caused a rift in what was happening between our countries, and she wanted us to know that not all Americans are bad people.”

    I didn’t mean an apology isn’t owed, I meant there’s a very long line of people waiting.

      but they aren’t first world nations that talk about it on Lemmy so they aren’t as important.
