Wonderful tribute to Jamaica tonight on the CBC National News.
Longtime T.V. anchor Dwight Drummond (who co-hosts the CBC Toronto evening news) did a 20 minute feature on Independence and Canada's 230 thousand Jamaican Canadians who make our culture so rich and diverse.
Mr. Drummond is originally from Jamaica.
It was a beautiful broadcast and I'm sure folks on the island who have CBC on cable were proud to see it.
Brought a tear to my eye anyway.
Happy independence day Jamaica!
That's pretty cool. I can't imagine the party they are having right now. The fastest man and woman and Jamaican July 4th. It's got to be a great time.
Ya'll have a wonderful celebration
We'll be home in a couple of weeks for a nice quiet visit.
My respects to Jamaica on 50 years of Independence!. Hard to believe it's been that long.

When I went grocery shopping this morning, I was amazed at just how many Jamaicans and "wanna be Jamaicans" were wearing the colors of the Jamaican Flag and a few, of course, Bolt Jerseys!
Now that I live in Jamaica for much of the year, this showing of National Pride actually brought a tear to my eye. Few, if any, people from other countries seem to have that spirit (and show it) when a National Holiday in their native country is happening. I am proud to be a transplanted Jamaican!
Big Up to Jamaica, Her People and long may Her spirit continue.
Peace, Love and Understanding.

Respect to all of my Jamaican friends on the 50th anniversary of your great country. Check out what a classy guy Mr. Usain Bolt is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEaQmwXUJMo&sns=fb.

I just returned Friday and have my Jamaica 50th w/peace sign t shirt on today! We arrived Monday morning and had never seen the airport that busy and the streets. A lot of Jamaican pride being displayed.
Happy Independence Day Jamaica!
Peace
