When was the last time a tourism ad made you cry?
This new Canadian tourism ad is more than just an invitation to a beautiful place. It’s a quiet, powerful gesture of healing between two neighbors who share so much, yet sometimes let political divides and cultural misunderstandings build invisible walls.
The online reactions speak volumes: tears, surprise, relief. So many expected mockery or coldness but instead found empathy and kindness. “I thought we were gonna get made fun of, I’m crying instead,” said one American commenter.
Why does this matter? Because outrage builds walls — literal and metaphorical — while empathy crosses every border. It reminds us that beneath politics and headlines, beneath stereotypes and noise, there is a shared humanity that connects us.
