I'm fine with any advertising that does not switch between ads too quickly and is not digital. My previous residence of Halifax, NS has a MASSIVE digital billboard on the Bedford Highway (just a road that goes around the harbour). The main issue with this billboard is the brightness. Read more

Billboards and excessive signage in rural areas destroy the natural landscape and are distracting to drivers. What is so wrong or difficult about keeping our roads in a state that fits with the environment? Why must everything be an opportunity for an ad? Read more
