In talking to residents here over the last two weeks, I’ve heard again and again that they’ve never been more proud to be Canadian. Remember, this is a country that’s struggled for the past 30 years to simply keep itself whole.
So to hear chants of “Go, Canada, Go!” and to see thousands of people proudly wearing their red and black team Canada gear has been a revelation to Canadians from around the country. Walk down the street, and you’ll hear crowds spontaneously break into “O Canada,” looking for a way to express their identity to one another, and the world.
