Dear whoever runs for #yegcc...

Please caption your videos.

Please consider how inaccessible you are and the loss of votes when you dont caption your videos.
85% of people on FB watch videos with sounds off. Which means if its not captioned potential voters are just going to skip over your videos and therefore wont learn what your platforms are. #yegcc
I sound like a broken record but captioning isnt just for deaf people. Captioning benefits your hearing constituents who may have ESL. Captioning benefits those not paying attention, multi-tasking, have trouble understanding the speaker, or prefer to read than listen. #yegcc
If you decide to run for mayor or #yegcc, this means you need to be #accessible by your constituents. Dont just be good. Be better.

And w/ absolute kindness, Google has vast resources.

Fin.
