We have the international tug of war between our police services on both sides of the border.

And we have the men and then we have the women.

And this past year in 2025, it was the Americans who won two out of three.

And, uh, last two years ago, it was the Canadians who won.

So it's a seesaw battle back and forth.

The mayor will be there.

Uh, there'll be a number of other politicians.

We cheer on our teams, but the best part when it's all done, we all get together for a big group picture and really it's all about coming together.

So we meet on the rainbow bridge.

Oh, we get along terrifically.

We'll call each other.

We write each other Christmas cards.

We'll phone when we need something.

We got family in the area.

Mary Stano's got family here in Niagara Falls, Canada.

I've got family in Niagara Falls, USA, and Depew, and Poughkeepsie, and all over the USA.

So we get along fantastic.

We're good friends.

And we know what happens to one side affects the other.

So we want both sides to be good, reputationally and otherwise.
