Clearly this comment is full of Canadians (myself? included), haven’t read a single comment where someone called another person names or mentioned any off topic stuff. Haha hugs to all you beautiful Canadians!!
what do you mean being another state??
That when showed the world are? gold
Canada is great. please stop becoming another state? of the USA.
It meant pride and joy for cities that were? financially stable and the opposite for cities that struggled financially.
I love this soft arrangement of “I believe” playing in the background as Brian? Williams speaks
yup, sure would have. that was just icing on the cake, LOTS, AND LOTS of? icing 😉
I see your point. But loosing those hockey medals would? have REALLY SUCKED!!!
no chance! for 17 straight days? canadians united like never before, canadian spirit and national pride was EVERYWHERE! it was one feel good story after another from our first gold on home soil, to rochette skating to bronze the same day her mom died and everything in between. it was canada’s comming out party and EVERY canadian was a part of it. sure it would of sucked to loose in hockey but in NO WAY shape or forum would of changed what those olympics did for canadian pride. I LOVE THIS COUNTRY
and i have a tear in my eye, AGAIN! what an AMAZING 2 weeks, never before has canada been so united. so many memorys,? so many feel good storys, when me & my friend got to van i opened my door and one wiff of the air i told him, “this is BIG, something REALLY special is going on” you could sence it in the air, canada flags EVERYWHERE. those were the best 2 weeks of this proud canadian’s life. I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!
PROUD CANADIAN !?
Two years later and? I still cried!
that’s just? the instrumental version of I believe, the theme song of the Olympics.
danmm i acaully cryed canada really showed up at this olympics … had so? much fun partying when the games were on … Canada <3
please tell me someone know what the name of the song is right at the beginning of this video with the instrumental piano and violin, ive been? looking for that song forever!
Lets call a spade a spade if Canada had lost? those hockey games most people would have remembered those games as nice but disappointing. We won the hockey and for the vast majority of Canadians that’s what really mattered.
most people consider the hockey win the? most sensational but…i myself loved alex bilodeau (first gold on home soil) and the bronze medl for joannie most. IMO the most meaningful and they both have a very touching story
I get all choked up. ? Not ashamed to say it. It’s pretty friggin’ cool! We did own THAT podium!
