INCREDIBLE -- More than 6.4 million Canadians watched Game 5 of the Raptors-Warriors NBA Finals on television last night (Sportsnet + City). Want context? That's two million more viewers than the Super Bowl this year.
Canada is all-in on the Raptors and basketball. #OurGame

In the last two weeks, Canada has:
- Averted a trade war with the US
- Had a female physicist win a Nobel Prize
- Refused to back down vs Saudi Arabia
- Officially declared the Rohingya crisis "a genocide"
Just Canada doing 🇨🇦 things.
