Canada Post is embarrassed and apologetic over a racy advertisement that appeared on its website.
The online advertisement for a red and black garter dress, which lacks any fabric to cover the chest of the model wearing it in the accompanying photo, came to the attention of the federal government on Wednesday when Liberal MP Bonnie Crombie brought it up in the House of Commons.
Canada Post has apologized and removed a link from its website to a company called The Adult Boutique, which was among the businesses featured in its Comparison Shopper tool. Liberal MP Bonnie Crombie complained in question period that Canada Post was promoting retailers that sell "sex toys, racy accessories and other erotica." Post office spokeswoman Anick Losier said later: "We apologize for the inappropriate content on our Comparison Shopper site. Once the content was brought to our attention, we had it and any links to the third party website taken down."
