"Welcome Back America" Tonight in Dundas Square

You can bet we'll be in Dundas Square tonight, celebrating with the rest of the planet, enjoying a rare, sweet moment of unity with (almost) all of humankind as we join together and look forward to the brighter day coming.

The gist: After CNN announces the US election result tonight, make your way over to Dundas Square for a big party.

We will be there doing what we do best.

If the rest of the planet could vote, Barack Obama would win the American 2008 election in an unprecedented landslide. It's safe to say that much of the world is waiting anxiously for the Obama victory - think of the 200,000 people that saw Obama speak in Berlin last July.

The United States has lost moral support and sympathy around the world over the last eight years. The Obama win is a chance for a new start and to patch up both its reputation and its international relationships. We need to send a big fun signal of good faith that we're ready to have them back. Let's do that by gathering together in our public squares to celebrate this new era and show our American friends they are not alone in the world.

Here's how it will work: When CNN declares victory (since it's the news organization most internationally available) head to your city or town's main square where public celebrations usually take place. If it's a square with a big video screen maybe they'll broadcast results so you can go early, or watch the victory speech after. Like when your sports team wins, it's better to celebrate in public with everybody else.

In Toronto, head to Dundas Square. It's got the space, those big TVs, and after every hockey championship, it is naturally filled with people.

See you there!
