At Bloor and St. George, at the entrance of Canada’s largest university, on the wall of a building owned by the City of Toronto, Titan Outdoor has re-erected an illegal sign that the City of Toronto ordered removed on multiple occasions.

Titan Outdoor should be ashamed, as should the people who put that sign up, but most importantly, City Hall should be ashamed for allowing this sort of shit to happen.

Rami's hard work has paid off in the form of some real publicity with The Toronto Star:

"At least half the billboards in Toronto are illegal," he says. "In the entertainment district, almost all of them. It's visual pollution. We have to fight it."

Tabello's website, illegalsigns.ca, lists about 270 allegedly outlaw billboards. He calls them "bad boys" and estimates there are between 1,500 and 2,000 around the city.

In related news, the asshats at ClearChannel want to sue the Toronto Public Space Committee (of which I'm an active member). IllegalSigns.ca has the details.
