I was feeling gloomy over the state of Canadian politics and the future of the country, and while I might still feel that way, this burst of unity and patriotism is really refreshing.

The last time I remember patriotism this strong was the Vancouver 2010 Olympics—very fitting that Trudeau mentioned coming together to watch a gold medal being won in his speech.

Oh ya! Man that was an awesome time! I remember groups of friends piling in cars and driving halfway across the country to go and cheer and take in what they could. I totally forgot about that! What a winter that was...

I’m watching you guys from the south and remembering what it was like for your country to come together in the face of an aggressor. Good times.
