Canadians show their support by helping finish singing the national anthem after technical difficulties...http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/hear...sh-singing-u-s-anthem-microphone-fails-watch/

At a packed arena in Canada, where NHL hockey teams were set to battle on the ice, the Toronto Maple Leafs were hosting an American team from Nashville.During the opening ceremony, the singer’s microphone failed during the US national anthem and the music suddenly stopped.

The Canadians, in a heartwarming moment, began singing the words, and cheered as they finished up the song.

“I’m sharing this story because I want Americans to know that Canadians love them,” writes JKC, who submitted the video to the Good News Network.

“Americans are like our older brother: sometimes we poke fun, and we don’t always have the same interests, but we would stand up for them in a heartbeat, and want their lives to be great.”

Heart warming response.
I love good sportsmanship like that because it is born out of respect and affection.
Let's have more of it.

That was actually quite moving.

Everybody loves us...

Everybody loves us...

In an arena and in Canada. But many Americans seem to share a hate for one another.

God Bless America and Canada's Harper, a man that stands morally in the role of leadership.

Everybody loves us...

Now , now.

One swallow doth not a summer make.

Let's no go into the realms of fantasy!

Brought tears to my eyes! I have some Québécois blood, & a great, if albeit at times irrational, love for Canada & things Canadian. Maple Leafs going to be my favorite hockey team from now on!

Our Pittsburgh Penguin fans sang in support of Canada at one of the hockey games after the Ottawa shootings too...always nice to see such support. http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/sweet-nhl-tribute-after-ottawa-shootings/
