Subject: [MBZ] Canadians say: America is Great
Leave it to a Canadian ad campaign to deliver the most inspiring message
of this U.S. election
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.”
What resulted was what one might call peak Canada. A diverse group of
individuals sent optimistic videos praising America for everything from
its musical influences to its public policies.
Other Canadians took to Twitter using the hashtag #tellamericaitsgreat to
offer more accolades and moral support.
