Ads For Subs in the Suburbs

[dewline]

Saw an interesting thing today for the second time: an ad on the back end of an OC Transpo bus for Hanhwa Ocean's KS-III submarines. Hanhwa Ocean is one of the firms competing for contracts to build submarines for the Canadian Navy. I'd expect to see the ads in the tunnel under MacKenzie King Bridge that connects the Rideau Centre with DND HQ. Not on a bus out in the eastern suburbs of Ottawa.

That'd amuse me, a submarine ad in a transit tunnel.

Sometimes, it's just a cigar.

There are indeed stories about the namesake of that bridge, the prime minister who, imperfectly and sometimes horribly, got Canada through WW2 to the other side.

Can their buses swim underwater? ;)

Not for lack of occasionally trying.

We do have one company in Ottawa that runs a bus that doubles as a boat...which has occasionally run into trouble on land and sea alike.

Cool! ;)
