Regina Tourism Agency Apologizes for Sexualized Ads and Slogans

TL;DR Summary
The tourism organisation for Regina, Canada, has apologised after its new advertising campaign was criticised for "sexualising" the city. The campaign used slogans that leaned into the city's double-entendre name, which some residents said was immature and belittling to women. Experience Regina apologised and said it was trying to take ownership of a name that has become a crude joke for some. Regina Mayor Sandra Masters will hold a news conference on Wednesday to address the issue.
