Last night, for Valentine's Day, I showed my wife "Come from Away" which is now on Apple TV Plus. It's a musical that shows how the people of Gander, Newfoundland welcomed strangers from all over the world into their communities and homes after 9/11. It obviously touches on some dark themes, but overall it's a fun uplifting story. I definitely recommend it! #comefromaway #appletvplus
As Canada and the U.S. enter a trade war after spending decades as friends, neighbours and allies ⊠I want to tell a story about Canadians helping our neighbours to the South.
Years ago I was asked to go to a Canadian college to see a workshop for a musical about 9/11.
I scoffed. A musical about what? How will that work?
I drove out to the campus during a brutal winter snowstorm. I remember cursing that I was having to deal with a late night white knuckle drive for a musical that made absolutely no sense. Who would want to listen to people sing about that unspeakable tragedy?
I should have had more faith. The writers - an incredible Canadian duo called David Hein & Irene Sankoff - made magic at Sheridan College. Their musical wasnât really about 9/11, it was about the community of Gander, Newfoundland that welcomed stranded planes on that dark day
It was about the Canadian spirit of opening our hearts and homes to those in need⊠no matter where they come from, what colour, religion, gender or nationality they are. It was about overcoming odds and helping strangers for no other reason than it was the right thing to do
38 planes carrying 6,579 passengers were diverted to Gander on 9/11. To put things in perspective, Gander is a tiny community of less than 10,000 people. They literally doubled in size overnight.
They could have left the people on the planes. They could have refused them and said it was Americaâs problem. They could have deflected and blamed as is so popular with the current leader of the U.S. They chose to open their arms and welcome everyone.
The community got together and found ways to feed, clothe and house every passenger and animal that were on those planes They put people up in schools and gymnasiums, guest rooms in their homes and more They turned the hockey rink into a giant walk in fridge for all the food
They rounded up bbqs from everyoneâs backyard to have big cookouts for all the new guests. Provided every denomination with a place to pray. Made sure that kids had diapers, toys and a feeling of safety. Comforted animals who werenât allowed off the planes. They stepped up.
For four days, no one from Gander slept or took a break. They were constantly on the go to ensure that every one of their new arrivals felt safe, protected and welcomed. Thatâs what the musical was about. The camaraderie and love shown during that unprecedented time
Its name? Come from Away.
It would go on to be a Tony Award winning Broadway musical with successful productions all over the Globe. Its message of kindness, inclusion and hope inspired people to be more welcoming of those who are different than them
It was one of the greatest honours of my life to be one of the first journalists to write about that extraordinary musical. To be able to meet many of the people from Gander and from the planes who allowed their stories to be told.
Iâve always loved being a Canadian, but sitting in that small theatre on a snowy winters night ⊠I was overwhelmed with pride & hope for our future The people of Gander showed us what it truly means to be a neighbour, and we need to hold onto that spirit in these dark times
I donât know what comes next, but I know Canadians will rise to the challenge. We will continue to extend a hand in friendship to our American neighbours. We know most of you donât want this either. We will stand proud and remain true to our values always. We will overcome
If you want to watch it, the Broadway production was filmed for streaming on AppleTV and itâs beautifully done. âTonight we honour what was lost, but we also commemorate what we found.â
@rljenk Good pick!!! #ILikeToWatch

Hmmm... I can get 25% off tickets to go again..? Should I?
O mundo nas nosas mans, como os protagonistas do musical #ComeFromAway que tiveron o mundo nas sĂșas mans uns dĂas, sen interferencias e cambiaron a sĂșa forma de ver a vida.
O mundo estå nas nosas mans, se queremos cambialo, melloralo, onde todas teñamos as as mesmas oportunidades, sexamos respectados por ser quen somos e nos coidémos uns a outras.
Se de verdade buscamos isto, estĂĄ nas nosas mans.
Se pasas por Madrid non che perdas este humano musical. #Cultura
I already want to see that again - it is so good... Tears, laughter just beautiful
Just home from seeing âCome From Awayâ - a musical about 9/11 in Newfoundland.
Amazing production.
Some of the real âCome From Awaysâ made an appearance at the end of the show.
Fantastic. Iâve loved the music for ages, but this is the first time Iâve seen it live.

I finally got to enjoy my birthday present from my parents tonight - 10 months late, but well worth the wait! I saw the musical #ComeFromAway.
It had me in tears it was so goodâŠwhich has never ever happened at the theatre before. As a diverted passenger to Halifax, Nova Scotia it was so clear it was written from first hand accounts with such an ear for the quirky little things that happened over those strange days when the world turned upside down. I felt seen in a way Iâve never felt before
March 13th, 2020, my wife and I were in Toronto having lunch downtown. The next day we had tickets for #ComeFromAway but feeling nervous about crowds and potential #COVID infection. Before we finished lunch we got notification that the show was canceled. Whew...
Fast forward to today - we're on the GO Train heading downtown to a 2pm show. Only took 4 1/2 years to use our credit.
BTW - GO Train is $1.97 for seniors, from Brampton to Union, with a 10 minute walk to the theatre. Bargain
Good Morning #Canada
If you were to create a list of Canadian focused 9/11 stories, the hosting of 5,000+ stranded passengers in Newfoundland and Labrador would be #1. This incredible tale of organization and compassion started when 238 planes were grounded in Canada, and Gander, with its vast runways, took in 38. But unknown by most is that a decade of disaster preparedness planning allowed Newfoundlanders to make it look easy.
