Oh Canada, we really needed this.

A marketing agency called The Garden decided to collect Canadians' opinions on their southern neighbor. It created a website called "Tell America It's Great" and invited Canadians to submit video comments.

"Seems America could use some cheering up right about now," the site says. "As their closest friends and neighbours, we thought we should take a minute to help remind them that no matter how bad things might seem at the moment, there are lots of reasons why we think they’re still pretty great."

This video is the result.

Videos cite America's contributions to music, space travel and technology, among others.

There's also a hashtag — #tellamericaitsgreat — that is adding to the mostly warm sentiments.
