Most Canadians oppose book bans. Most Canadians want their kids to have access to a wide range of books. Most Canadians trust teachers and librarians to build library collections. The government should not be telling teens what they can and can't read. Now is an important time to speak up.

The thing about the Sydney denim ad is that she has been touted by incels and white supremcists as the ideal Aryan woman for a while, which she and her team should be well aware of. The ad then is exploiting that, not refuting it. This is abhorrent and craven capitalist behaviour.
