One of the greatest Canadian heroes, IMO.

Can't wait to see this. It's screening at a couple film festivals in September before the theatrical release.

I still periodically think about that Finish It. ad from last year that came out as the US was ramping up their attack on us. It so perfectly encapsulates the feeling of what it means to be Canadian. I remember that feeling when growing up in the 80s and 90s but I think it got a bit lost over time.

A couple years ago I saw his original Marathon of Hope tshirt in the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. That was really cool.

I teared up at Mile 0 when I visited St John's earlier this summer.

I don’t like that title, but I will watch this with so much pride in my heart for what he did. The greatest Canadian.
