GENERAL MOTORS OFFERS CONDOLENCES
By Adnews Staff
General Motors of Canada, based in Oshawa, ON, ran full-page advertisements on Friday offering condolences on behalf of its staff to the victims of last week's attacks in New York and Washington. The ads read: "General Motors of Canada, our employees and our dealers extend our sincerest sympathies to all those affected by Tuesday's tragedy. To the families, friends and victims, our thoughts and prayers are with you." GM has also pulled an upcoming print advertisement that had been scheduled to run. Company representatives would not reveal details about the ad but did say that the rest of the firm's advertising plans had not been changed. Advertising for all of General Motors' brands outside of Quebec is done by MacLaren McCann. In Quebec advertising is handled by Cossette Communication-Marketing.
