Also, the donated ammounts don’t include the money from T-Shirts and all that stuff do they?

I personally would like to see adds on Durham region Transit, Durham has a population of 500 000 or more…

I’m ectactic that the $100 I donated is going to help to bring the ads to Calgary. I want to thank everyone that’s involved with the campaign, and everyone that has donated to help show this overwhelming support.

It might be the first real time that I’ve felt a sense of community as an atheist in Western Canada.

Three cheers for everyone connected with this campaign. I am 61 years old today and I never thought I would see the day when Canadian atheists would have the guts to stand up and make their opinion heard.

The next thing we could think about is a campaign showing who atheists are. Here is a cute idea: Each ad could pair up one atheist celebrity like Einstein, Katharine Hepburn or even Charles Schultz (the creator of “Peanuts”, who became a secular humanist at the end of his life) with one ordinary guy or gal from everyday life. Like Einstein and Joe ***** the accountant in Toronto, or whatever.

I agree, but let’s not forget that the Ottawa-Gatineau area where I live is a metropolitan area of 1.2 million and I believe it is the fourth-largest metropolitan area in Canada (even if it is split over two provinces on either side of the Ottawa River) after Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. It has been my pleasure to donate $100 to this campaign. Keep up tghe good work everyone and let’s bring the campaign to Ottawa.

Toronto, Halifax and Calgary are all good places to start. We may want to consider expanding into smaller towns and suburbs in the future where views aren’t often as progressive as in metropolitan centres. Presumably smaller towns will also have lower advertising rates.

Toronto has nearly 10 times to population of Halifax, and a much higher transit ridership. Perhaps you should reconsider the proportions. I guess once you know the rates of different cities you’ll have a better idea of how much you should spend where.
