Canada stopped for a few hours on Saturday night to venerate @thetragicallyhip, the band that for many has come closest to defining the country’s cultural identity. In May, the Hip’s frontman, Gord Downie, revealed that he had terminal brain cancer. Instead of slowing down, though, the band planned a summer tour that has transfixed much of Canada. Since its first studio album in 1989, the #TragicallyHip has risen from a riff-driven bar band to one whose dense lyrics, touching on hockey players and heroes of the Canadian wilderness, now invite close reading. On Saturday, millions of Canadians watched a live stream of the performance from hockey arenas, town squares, clubs and restaurants across the country. It was an unparalleled moment of national pride, laced with sorrow. “Thank you,” #GordDownie told the crowd from onstage in Kingston, Ontario, on Saturday, “for keeping me pushing, and keeping me pushing.” @j.adamhuggins photographed the crowd in Kingston while on #nytassignment.
