[SnipersVerdict]

[1244B]

True north strong and free! Fuckin right!

[Tardis910]

[midgetman23]

[jackier102]

[tandr81]

Shane your definition will always resonate

[MrTorontoShayan]

Thumbs up if you feel those pride goosebumps. :)

[theenothings]

best opening ceremoney ive ever seen

[79random]

One person who watched this has never experienced my Canada!

[JagerBommb]

the only good thing that has come out of America is vannila coke.

[peteball31]

@JagerBommb That's debateable

[soilofk]

That is soooo perfect!! I am so proud to live in Canada and to be a Canadian!!!

[dodgyhingst]

*America* was an experiment and Canada has come the closest to making it a complete reality. The United States has been deconstructing the experiment for the past 100 years. Mexico never stood a chance.

This poem moved me to tears of joy as I watched the opening ceremony....and I am not even Canadian. I am a Missourian.

[globe00007]

I was in the opening ceremony. And I saw many Canadians next to me who start crying - I can understand them

[ihatekoreans88]

thats one hell of a neck beard

[canadaisgolden]

@ihatekoreans88 LOL

[PandoraT377]

God this gives me chills. I am proud to call myself Canadian.

[Quenziekinz]

gives me chills everytime..

[OzTheSeyecko]

This opening was the best I've ever seen. Canada amazing.

[AngyalGyula]

It's a great pleasure, seeing that Canada introduced a (slam) poet as the performer of Canada at the Olympic Games. It's a greater flash than the Benjamin Bratt-movie "Pinero" - although that's an excellent one. Shane Koyczan is a hero of the world's slam poetry. I'm a slammer from Hungary, Europe, and I feel giant pride for Shane's performance. This fat but talent guy, Koyczan gave glory to Canada.

[ksprad72]

I get shivers and I'm American. Maybe because it's the same pride I feel about being American, that sense of diversity and "All are Welcomed'. Viva América del Norte!

[antetheterrible]

This is an incredible sentiment, but it's a crock of shite. A+ in oration.

[3baileygirls2010]

chills

[CarKar4Life]

i have seen this video over 15 times. i can repeat every word, yet every time i watch this i get shivers and goose bumps!!!!! I am so proud to be Canadian watching this video.

[blackdragon1221]

This gives me goosebumps, and I also shed a few tears. The olympics gave Canada a chance to show that WE ARE MORE, and we did. To experience the roar of the crowds after Crosby's goal in my hometown of Vancouver, we experienced a dream come true.

Vancouver 2010: a memory to last a lifetime.

[DLJTMB]

Doesn't this just make one so proud to live in a country called Canada. It's like the icing on the cake.

[striker343]

this guy is amazing he came and spoke at my school was really cool

[spocksgirl87]

Love it. One of my more favs parts of the ceremony.

[efftehiia]

This reminded me of what it truly is to be Canadian and to be proud of my country. Thank you Shane!

[mamajazzygirl]

We are the true north, strong and FREE. So lucky to live in a country like Canada - what a priviledge!

[graybull8]

NECKBEARD STRIKES AGAIN

[Rangerx38]

[drunkman12345]

[canucks4cup]

favourite part of the opening ceremonies

[Hwarong]

Love his way of expressing his poems, he is a very talented man!

[Zagadka42]

The entire artistic presentation blew the doors off the building, but Shane's performance of "We Are More" qualifies as the apex of a truly defining Canadian moment that lifted the roof right off the building.

AMAZING
