Paid by the government? Still don't get it taxes are paid by the consumer of goods in that case.
Every government advertisement contains that tag line, or similar - provincial advertisements say "Paid for by the government of <province", campaign ads use the party name in the tag line. Most Canadians are used to seeing this, and won't conflate the tagline as being part of the ad itself.
oh the advertisement was paid by the government. its an ad campaign against the tarrifs. I thought you meant the general message of the advertisement.
