Jesus christ...I'm bawling over here.
I've tried to express to my wife what it means to be Canadian, and I said over and over again it's simple...community. We take care of each other and support each other. It's different from the individualist mindset of an American.
Never has there been a more obvious example of what that sense of community looks like. I'm an expat Calgarian/Canadian who's team won a cup that helps Flames fans. In appreciation for that, several of you decide to support kids and poor working families here in South Florida just for the sake of comradery. That's just ####ing amazing.
It's just another example I can use to support the overarching theory I've been telling her for a while now: "Everything is better in Canada."
