      We do! We're just beat down by stupid politicians and woke idiots. Based on my private conversations with people from all walks of life is we have had it with this utter nonsense? Canadians actually do care about each other and when Trudeau and Liberals are removed Canada will shine again.

      Same here. Im thinking of becoming and inspirational speaker, so any likes on this comment will help me gather more courage and maybe help me achieve my goal; performing at WE Day. The world shouldn't be judged by power, discrimination or feelings. All the world is equal and should help be united as one, as Nikki states here. This song always inspires me to keep pushing, and to finally get the courage to tell my girlfriend that I have a massive crush on her. It has shaped me into a better person, who looks up to inspirational speakers, like Spencer West and Nikki Yanofsky herself, as role models. She has inspired me since 2010, and has transformed my life into one of the best things ever. A great girlfriend, great friends, a really good school, and many more things. Thank you for taking your time, and don't forget to like this comment to help me reach my goal of WE Day. Peace out to all of you, and God bless your lives

    Watching in 2016 and getting a bit emotional when I realized that I still had my little triangular flag- the Coca-Cola sponsored Manitoba ones- sitting on the shelf next to me. They passed them out at my school and all the classes stopped so we could go watch the torch go past. Not to mention that the instrumental for this was also my gymnastics floor music for several years. Lots of memories here.
    This song is beautiful, just like our country.

Although I could not come to Vancouver I felt the olympic spirit down in Ontario. I hope they come back, I am so greatful that we got the chance to share our backyard with the whole world. Go Canada!

    I will never forget those two Olympic weeks! I spent so many nights just walking around Robson Square and cheering with my friends and basically everyone on the street. It was amazing and I've never felt or seen so much Canadian spirit before or since. Listening to this song almost makes me cry just reminding me of how proud I am to be Canadian and remembering how awesome those two weeks were! The 2010 Olympics will always have a special place in my heart :)
    PS. And Nikki has an amazing voice!

    I lived in Calgary through the 1988 Olympics here and I was lucky enough to be here again to see the torch relay for Vancouver 2010 pass through - and yes I went down to the route with my red mitts all wrapped up in the Canadian flag to cheer on the torch. Seeing these images along with this amazing song manages to choke me up all over again. Of all the things I may be, first and foremost is Canadian and I am proud of our country for coming together when it matters.

He was sleeping the whole time but I remember seeing it go through and I was crying like a baby. I tell him to this day he got to be around for the most special Olympic Games in the world. I swear that torch spread magic around our country. Those two weeks were different than any other I have experienced.
