  2. Biggest Fruit of the Loom ad ever

  3. Congratulations Brazil! Great job shutting up the naysayers.

  4. July 2016 was unquestionably the hottest month in 136 years of continuous record. Here's how every month since 1880…

  5. A record hot month would be bad enough. We just experienced 15 of them in a row.

  6. I’m sure this is a dumb question, but: Did Gord Downie ever write about Quebec/French Canada?

  7. Easiest Order of Canada decision ever.

  8. Downie is living proof that weird kids can make it. Stay brilliantly strange. One day a country may hang on every odd word.

  9. "You are ahead by a century"-Gord Downie, gesturing to the crowd

  10. Yep, this was my guess for final Hip song

  11. So Gord Downie just left twitter speechless. That mic drop just broke a country.

  12. Gord Downie drops the mic exhausted, picks it back up and places it in its stand. Canadian to the core.

  13. This concert will be half a chapter in the first Justin Trudeau post-PM biography

  14. New Canadian motto - "Everybody's involved. Everybody's invited." - Gord Downie

  15. Terry Fox might be the better analogy, vs. any musician?

  16. "Everybody is invited. Everybody is involved. We tried to write that way. We tried to think that way." Downie. Thank you,

  17. Gord Downie looks like a man at peace. Thank you Canada for giving him this send off.
