Canadians in L. A. Rally Behind Blue Jays: A Story of Pride and Unity

A Decade in Los Angeles, a Heart in Toronto

Living in Los Angeles for nearly a decade, Cory Litwin has embraced the city's vibe. Yet, when it comes to sports, his heart beats for Toronto, where he was raised on Blue Jays games, thanks to his grandparents.

"The Blue Jays are more than just a team; they represent an entire country. This isn't about a city or a province but about Canada as a whole."

A Wave of National Pride

The Blue Jays' journey to the World Series has sparked a wave of national pride. For many Canadians, especially those living abroad, this series is a chance to connect with their roots. It's a reminder of Canada's growing influence in sports and a testament to the country's resilience.

Beyond Sports: A Reflection of National Identity

Litwin, now a managing partner at Range Media and co-founder of SHWIN, shared his thoughts on the significance of the Blue Jays' success.

"It isn't just about sports. This is about national pride. It's Canada versus the world."

This sentiment resonates with many Canadians, who see the Blue Jays' success as a reflection of their own achievements and struggles.

Unity in Diversity

The Blue Jays' games have brought together Canadians from all over the country. At Dodger Stadium, it's not just about the game; it's about the shared experience.

"Canadians in L.A. have been wearing their Blue Jays gear proudly, and the local community has shown unexpected support. This shared experience has created a sense of unity and pride among Canadians living abroad."

Representation on the World Stage

The Blue Jays' success is not just about winning; it's about representation. It's about Canadians making their mark on the world stage, just like The Weeknd, Drake, and the Toronto Raptors.

"For many, the Blue Jays' journey is a triumph in itself, a testament to the power of national pride and unity."
