Ad campaign on bus-shelter funded by tax payers.
Toronto a city that boasts multiculturalism has launched anti-Islamophobic ad campaign on TTC bus shelters which depicts Caucasians and non-Muslims as the perpetrators against Muslims. This unfair depiction of non-Muslims is divisive and does not serve the objective it intends to accomplish to the very people it is trying to reach out to.
"If TTC receives FIVE complaints about an advertisement, the ad will be forwarded to the Advertising Review Working Group (ARWG) for assessment. The ARWG is made up of appointed TTC Board Members and TTC staff whose role it is to review advertisements to determine compliance with this policy. If it is determined that a posted ad does not comply with TTC policy, the TTC will remove the ad from its property. The decision of ARWG is final."
LETS SEND THEM FIVE!
