Toronto subway riders come face to face with farmed animals
As part of the 2011 "Be Veg" Toronto subway ad campaign, 1,000 "Why love one but eat the other?" ads running on Toronto subways have been asking Canadians to "be veg" and riders are responding.
This provocative ad series launched by a grassroots group draws attention to the similarities between the animals we call "family" and the animals we call "dinner" and highlights the shocking cruelty faced by animals raised for food in Canada.

Privatization of public transit around the world has been a disaster for taxpayers and riders. In part 1 of this compelling video, we learn of some of these disasters and why Toronto should avoid TTC public-private partnerships. Narrated by Canadian actor Eric Peterson.
