Meanwhile, Oprah Winfrey offered her congratulations to the Raptors along with sharing some news: her Toronto “Your Path Made Clear” show (which was supposed to take place on Friday and cancelled in case a Game 7 was required), is back on, and will now take place on Sunday, June 16.

“Heading to Canada. Toronto’s gone crazy,” says Winfrey in a video she shared, in which she’s packing for her upcoming trip to Toronto. “I’m heading to oh Canada’,” she then starts singing, “can’t wait to see you, oh Canada.”
