Okay, this video is really long, but we're a big country. Non-Canadians, I invite you into our joy. Things I love about this video: the guy in the foreground wearing a white turban with a red maple leaf dancing like a crazy person at a hockey goal; the little toddler standing in the middle of the shot wondering what's going on; that whether it's two people or 20,000 it's all pretty much the same; that Canadians actually became unhinged. Well, okay, now we're burning police cars in the streets of Toronto so clearly, now that we've unlocked our inner crazy, we need some kind of throttle on our unhingedness. But still, we became unhinged, isn't that a mildly encouraging sign? And what is it about this video that strikes at something deep in me? Not as a Canadian, but as a human being. There's something powerful in collective joy. Watch the video again, but this time imagine it's the global celebration that will happen when we all finally realize love wins.
