I was there! It was great!
I think it should be recognised that this rally was held at the CNE, thus everyone there had to pay admission to get in—and they still came! I think that is very significant.
I have never seen patriotism like this in Canada. People sang the national anthem with hats over there hearts, and veterans in civilian clothing saluted. Bagpipes were playing, and a helicopter was flying overhead. The mood was very upbeat, and people were going around shaking the soldier’s hands and thanking them.
Just incredible.
Dang! I didn’t know this was set to happen, would have tried to get there.
Sounds like a wonderful event. Thanks for the pics.
