Leave it to a Canadian ad campaign to deliver the most inspiring message of this U.S. election

[DonViejo]

Oh, Canada. You’re making us blush.

Our ever-friendly neighbors to the north have watched from afar a U.S. election cycle that has broken all norms for civility. It’s created tremendous stress and surfaced deep tensions within our society. For many, it’s been disheartening and demoralizing to watch. But Canadians are here to offer a sympathetic message to lift Americans’ spirits.

Riffing off Donald Trump’s slogan, the Garden, a creative agency in Toronto, launched a campaign called “Let’s Tell America It’s Great.” It encouraged Canadians to send videos of themselves telling America all the reasons it’s already great.

“As their closest friends and neighbors, we thought it was important for us to do something to cut through the negativity and help remind them that no matter how bad things might seem, there are a lot of reasons to believe that America is still pretty great,” the Garden wrote in a Medium post titled, “A Friend in Need.”

1. They don't know the real Americans

5. Yes they do. 75% of Canadians live within 100 mi of the border.

I'm willing to bet most Canadians know American better than most Republicans.

If the Republican Party was the husband and America was its spouse, they would be arrested and convicted of domestic violence.
