That's class, folks.

SALUTE!

Outstanding!!! Warms my heart.

Thank you Toronto.

Thank you to the Canadians!

Just how many Americans even know the lyrics to 'Oh Canada' ?

Sad part.....how many Americans know the lyrics to 'Star-Spangled Banner'
(not many by the examples of 'performers')

True sportsmanship - thanks to all Canadians.

Always have loved the Canadians ever since I was stationed at Loring AFB in Caribou Maine Loved to go across the border and drink their beer.
When I was discharged in Dec 1959 my wife and I traveled across Canada on the portions of the Queens Highway that was just being built. We ran out of gas and a RCMP took care of us and we were also given a free breakfast at a truck stop. Brings back a lot of good memories.
Been to Canada a lot since then and have always bee treated great.
I hope we can treat the Canadian snowbirds as well.
