I'm up in Vancouver, BC, celebrating with you! I cried when I heard that Obama had been elected President. I am so thrilled for my American friends - and for the whole world. This is a deeply hopeful time. Sacred, really.

As did I. What a wonderful night!
I'm a Canadian (living in Alberta) married to an American, and I cried, too. I had the honour of witnessing history tonight.
Amen.
I think most of us cried tonight. What an amazing and wonderful time to be alive. I'm so grateful.
