PC police force takedown of pro-PPC anti-immigration billboards

Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada, blames a "totalitarian leftist mob" for the decision of an advertising company owned by one of Canada's richest men to take down billboards promoting his party's "controversial" stance on immigration.

Opening the PPC's campaign for October's federal election in his home riding of Beauce yesterday, M Bernier complained of censorship after Pattison Outdoor Advertising, which rented the billboard space to a third party, "True North Strong and Free Advertising Corp., said it would remove the ads in response to "an outpouring of criticism".

There was indeed an "outpouring of criticism", orchestrated and reported by... wait for it... the CBC, who managed to find an immigrant from... wait for it... Iran who found one of the billboards, which appeared in Halifax, offensive. Pattison Outdoor Advertising originally said that if anyone had an issue with the content, they should contact the third-party group, but yesterday the company changed course, saying it never meant to offend or alienate anyone and that the ads would come down.

M Bernier says, rightly, that his political opponents and the "leftist mob" want to stifle discussion of immigration and keep him out of the election debates scheduled for the 7th and 10th of October. 1000s of fair-minded commenters on the CBC News report of Pattison's decision to take down the signs agree that censorship of the PPC's anti-immigration stance is the real reason why the liberal elites in the other political parties and the (((controlled media))) are pulling out all the stops to keep "Mad Max" out of the Leader's Debates. See "Canada's "independent" Debate Commission shuts out Max Bernier", WWW 12/8/19.

M Bernier has said that the number of immigrants accepted by Canada every year -- 350,000 -- is way too high. His party platform says the flood of immigrants inflates housing prices, and that other political parties use mass immigration as a tool to buy votes from immigrant communities.

Yesterday M. Bernier tweeted: The message on the billboard is not “controversial” for two thirds of Canadians who agree with it, and for those who disagree but support free speech and an open discussion. It’s only controversial for the totalitarian leftist mob who want to censor it.
