New controversial anti-child abuse campaign to adorn city buses
CALGARY – A controversial national ad campaign is now on display in Calgary.
Some city buses will now be splashed with the message “Child Porn is not porn ... it’s a crime scene.”
Canada Family Action is behind the awareness campaign. The advocacy group is pressuring Ottawa to pass Bill C54 with tougher laws against internet sex predators.
“Our goal is to increase pressure on all national parties to immediately pass Bill C54, the Protecting Children from Sexual Predators Act, so it becomes law before a federal election,” says Brian Rushfeldt, CFA president.
The national advertising campaign is running on buses, large digital and traditional billboards and digital office networks in several cities.
Since CFA launched its Child Safe Nation campaign in mid-2009, thousands of Canadians have contacted their MPs, distributed camping brochures and signed petitions demanding the new legislation.
On Thursday, Parliament passed Bill C22, requiring internet providers to tell police about ‘flags’ when they discover concerning child pornography websites.
Failure to do so could result in fines to the internet companies.
