Sun News Network sees nothing wrong with ad pulled from print

MEDIA WATCH / Toronto Sun refused to publish ad more than once; SunTV running it for three weeks

An ad from the Institute for Canadian Values that activists say is transphobic and misleading, and that appeared in the National Post and Toronto Sun during the Ontario election campaign, has returned on the Sun News Network.

The new ad is a televised version of the print ad using the same graphic and text with additional still photography of little girls in school cut with photos from the Toronto Pride parade. It misleadingly suggests that schools are "teaching" girls to question their gender and sexuality.
