12 Highlights From Canada's #TellAmericaItsGreat Campaign

If you haven't noticed, with less than a month left until the Presidential Election (and other important political elections), it's gotten a little stressful to be on social media. All sorts of people on Facebook and Twitter are actively trying to tell you exactly what to think, new outlets are hyperfocused on both candidates, and in general everyone is ready for November 8th to come and go. I think the whole world is too. Lucky for us, we seem to have some pretty cool neighbors to our north - Canada has launched the #TellAmericaItsGreat initiatve to encourage us Americans during the trial that is election season. This incredible movement was started by this video from The Garden North America:

The video's hashtag caused a movement on Twitter of support and encouragement radiating from our friendly Canadian neighbors. They've emphasized many amazing pieces of American history and current day pop culture. Here are some of the highlights of their fantastic movement:

1. Science Fiction series...

@staygr8america Any society that created Star Trek and Firefly, is great in my books. #TellAmericaItsGreat

Beyoncé, the food, (Omg! the food is to die for), innovation, music, parks, sports, hospitality, accents & diversity #tellamericaitsgreat ❤️

Needless to say, we're a bit loved by our northern neighbors. From our natural landscapes to our incredible people to our taste in music and medical advances - Canada sees a lot to love about America. We were all a little misty eyed reading their compliments. If you want to see more of their amazing compliments, check out @staygr8america on Twitter! They also have a website that you can find here! I guess that all we have left to say is #TellCanadaThankYou!

When you realize Canada is the Samwise Gamgee to our Frodo Baggins. 😭💙#TellAmericaItsGreat #TellCanadaThankYou pic.twitter.com/lO2U530kec

Canada started a hashtag called #tellamericaitsgreat. You guys, we almost don't deserve our neighbors to the north. 🇨🇦

College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
