Speaking of promoting Canadian tourism instead of obsessing over Trump, in 2026 the world cup soccer will be held in Canada, Mexico and the US. I don't think it's ever been in Canada before. Last time was the first time we qualified.
In 2010 Vancouver hosted the winter Olympics and for anyone who was here, everyone remembers that as a wonderful experience. My kids would go downtown and there was a genuine outpouring of goodwill. There would be groups of fans from all over the world carrying their respective flags singing songs. There were pavilions for each country to showcase their food and culture. This is what we wanted to see.
We wanted to celebrate our diversity and see other countries represented. Kind of like the Fusion festival held every year in Surrey. The Fusion Festival in Surrey is a fair with food for sale from countries all over the world. Then in the centre stage ethnic music is celebrated. Since Surrey has a large Punjabi community there's always veggie pakora and bhangra dancing. We all love to put our hands in the air for a little bhangra.
Yet there's food from all over the world represented. One country had these drinks in pineapples that was also very popular. This is what the world was like before Joe Biden and Donald Trump. In that world we celebrated our diversity. Now after the Covid insanity and Joe Biden's far left extremism along with Donald Trump's far right extremism, that message has been lost. The genuine feelings of love and good will have been replaced with hate and intolerance.
We need to remember what the world was like before Joe Biden and Donald Trump and celebrate our diversity once again at World cup 2026. Each year the world cup has a different theme song. The most famous was K'NAAN's Wavin' Flag.
It was all about letting other countries wave their flag and share the limelight. Like the Canadian remix raising money for Haiti after the earthquake. One thing we know is in 2026, neither Canada nor America will win. So let's celebrate other countries as they take centre stage. Argentina are the favorites to win.
The only thing we ask of them is to be the world champions we all aspire to. Don't be whiny little b*tches taking dives all over the field like we saw last time, that was embarrassing. Rolling all over the field like idiots against Canada when no one was near them was pathetic. So let's do better in 2026 and let's celebrate our diversity. Soccer fans don't fight each other in Canada. In Canada soccer games are for families and kids.
Another popular theme song was the Columbia theme for Copa America. There are a lot of Colombians in Metro Vancouver now especially from Buenaventura. Let's celebrate it and welcome the world once again.
