It appears that the infamous bus advert that was written about here, has been removed from another public transport location in Canada.
Metrobus has pulled an anti-abortion advertisement from its buses and shelters in St. John’s after complaints from the public. Critics said the ad gave the impression that late-term abortions are common in Canada. …
Metrobus removed it Thursday night, saying the ad was misleading because there’s no evidence that late-term abortions are common.
“We did do some research,” said Metrobus manager Judy Powell. She said the transit company took its lead from the code of the Advertising Council of Canada. One of the provisions states that if a statement is misleading or inaccurate, it should be removed.

They did some research. Kudos to Ms Powell. Gives one hope that the lying liars will be defeated by sensible people willing to do some research.
BLANCHE applauds Ms. Powell. So refreshing. To actually do some research. BLANCHE hopes the idea catches on and more people actually do take the time and go to the trouble of finding out the truth. Maybe get rid of those awful little plastic feet!
