Windsor sucks. Or so many Internet comments would have you believe.

That’s why Aaron Binder — a 28-year-old former Windsorite — has taken to Twitter to combat the rampant online negativity about our fair city.

Under the Twitter handle @WindsorYes, Binder is on a one-man campaign to personally respond to every tweet he can find denigrating his old hometown.

“We love to complain in Windsor. It’s one of the things we’re known for,” Binder says from his Toronto residence.

“I feel like there needs to be some counterbalance to that.”

Binder says he started up the @WindsorYes account around mid-August.

Since then, it’s been a simple but time-consuming matter to search for anti-Windsor tweets and throw some pro-Windsor sentiment at strangers.

The resulting exchanges are often hilarious.

“I miss my cousin already. Windsor sucks,” lamented Alisa Dauti in a tweet earlier this week.

Binder replied: “We recommend drowning your obviously huge sorrows in a Cheese Wheelz pizza” — helpfully including a link to the Windsor pizzeria’s website.
