    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.
