New Canadian Campaign To Launch Campaign On "Extraordinary Claims"

Early in 2011 the Centre for Inquiry Canada will begin its Extraordinary Claims Campaign (assuming it raises enough funds). The Centre will target such items as those listed on its "Extraordinary Claims" page (Bigfoot, Witches, UFOs, Aliens, Water Memory, and yes, mainstream religions). The campaign will include an ad campaign on Toronto buses--which will have to be approved by the proper authority. Coverage here from the Digital Journal and here from the Edmonton Sun. Last year, the Centre was one of the organizations sponsoring a "There's probably no God" campaign on municipal buses and local billboards. Those campaigns caused ruckuses (ruckusi?) everywhere they appeared, and some transit authorities and advertisers got skittish. Check the Atheist Bus website for updates on activites.
