*WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU, RAPTORS*

[@kimizhangg]

I’ve never seen anything like this. The fact that almost every person in Toronto is here. The way everyone gathers. The way Toronto unites. How supportive the raptors fans are. It’s amazing. It’s so heart touching. Toronto will do so many things for the raptors and this is just one of them. This is incredible. WE THE NORTH!!!

[@cfgoscuba2345]

So proud of the Raptors and Canada... from a Canadian in Miami.. but my heart is with you all

[@zewtuube]

Thanks for your support bro! Funny enough Im thinking of moving to Florida/America for better weather. Why did you move to Miami? And is it better than Toronto?

[@leythonlopez-ty5dm]

Wait I knew Candiain in high school in Miami (jaf) before moving

[@MrSweetPrince]

So glad I attended this! A historic moment indeed! Also heard the 2 victims aren't in life-threating condition, thank god! The two responsible have been apprehended as well!

Reporter: How drunk were you during the parade? The Raptors: Yes

[@annaperelmuter9817]

Wanted to be there, but I had my University graduation. While we were in line waiting to go into the room to cross the stage we were yelling and chanting lets go Raptors multiple times.
