Why do British people always write "xxx" after their names?

I don't know when this trend started but it was certainly more than 80 years ago and was or is still commonplace in Canada, at least among the elderly.

X or X means kiss. So XXX or xxx would mean kisses. O or o means hugs so xoxoxo means hugs and kisses.

British people do NOT ALWAYS end their missives with xxx.

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.
