Today, I witnessed an achingly Canadian moment.
It's 7:18AM and I'm on the Skytrain traveling to work.
A man boards.
He pauses briefly and draws attention to a loonie lying on the floor.
The man sits down, but uncomfortably turns around to ensure the loonie he noticed earlier is still present.
After a few more awkward efforts to settle into his seat, he speaks.
He asks the man standing above the loonie if the coin belonged to him.
Unclaimed, the loonie flaunts its value through its worn exterior.
Commercial. Foot traffic floods in as this station is a major hub.
As the early morning commuters disperse, the loonie does not reveal itself again.
Oh, Canada. It's good to be home.
