This is great news. I know how frustrating and difficult it can be to get the right message out if you are a social activist. It is not about the money. My organisation (wpirg.org) has the money to spend on a quality advertising when it's warranted. We're generally limited to the newspaper. Public television likes to stay away from anything contraversial. Why lose viewers if you don't have to? Fortunately for us, the airwaves are public assets meant to contribute to the wellbeing of the citizens first and foremost. Companies like CBC and Global are bound by that requirement. Since the government fell short on enforcing the public interest it ends up in the hands of Canadian communities to get the job done -> which is why access to public advertising is so important in the first place! Can't wait for the first public Canadian Adbusters ad!
