Company to remove Maxime Bernier billboards against mass immigration amid public outrage

OTTAWA — The owner of billboards currently showcasing ads that seek to promote the People’s Party of Canada’s controversial stance on immigration reversed course on Sunday, saying the company would take the material down in response to “overwhelming” criticism.

Critics of the term often consider it a synonym for opposition to visible minority immigrants on the grounds they pose a threat. According to a filing with Elections Canada, the third-party group behind the ads is run by Frank Smeenk, the chief executive of a Toronto-based mining exploration company.
