  • Does anyone still tear up when you watch what happened to our country? I do :) what an amazing thing to happen in our country so freaken proud to be canadian :)

  • I know the U.S. has their "give me your poor, tired, your huddled masses" bit, but I think Canada's diversity, whether white, black, or anything in between, straight, gay, religious, atheistic, WHATEVER YOU CALL YOURSELF, is what puts strength in this country. You are truly welcome in Canada.

    We forgive mistakes, poke fun at ourselves before at others, and don't make other countries' out to be threats to that freedom.

    This is why Canada works.

  • PROUD CANADIAN !

  • I cried like a fucking baby. I am so damn proud to be Canadian it's ridiculous. I tear up every time I hear the anthem.

  • Two years later and I still cried!

  • @scarecrow1512 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!

  • cant belive it will be 1 year on sunday the amazing games came to an end
