Media Website and Toronto-Based Airline

ads: Porter CEO Robert Deluce said in a statement the decision had no bearing on any political views or partialities and was made independent of any such considerations, according to Huffington Post Canada. But he added that the airline apologizes for confirming the move on Twitter by using the word blacklist,'' which he said was inappropriate and regrettable. The Toronto-based airline said Wednesday the decision was made after it became aware that its ads were appearing on the site, run by media personality Ezra Levant. Because of the increased use of automated software, many companies do not always know where their digital ads are placed. The media website also launched an online petition against Porter. Porter's removal of the advertisements drew praise and scorn on social media, with some supporters of The Rebel vowing to boycott the airline over the decision. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
