So it appears that the Ottawa transit authority will not be putting any ads on their buses that promote Atheiss....
The “atheist bus” campaign was momentarily bound for Ottawa, but OC Transpo has ruled out allowing provocative advertisements bearing a no-god message.
The group posted an email response it received from OC Transpo regarding the proposed ad: “The advertising standards section of our contract specifically excludes religious advertising which might be offensive to transit users, so we cannot approve this ad.

Im actually ok with this, as I stated yesterday since the buses are owned and operated by the city it may bring up certain church and state issues, I know if it was a pro-theism ad I would definitely not be ok with it.
Also the City of Ottawa pulling away from running the ads is probably generating more publicity for the cause than the ads on the bus ever would.
