Canadian Comedy Group's Upcoming Show Cancelled Over TShirt

 

 A planned Metro Vancouver performance by a controversial Alberta comedy group has been cancelled amid widespread backlash over T-shirts they made making light of B.C.’s most infamous serial killer.

Danger Cats faced a firestorm of criticism over the shirts, which depicted Robert “Willy” Pickton grinning and holding a slice of bacon with the caption “Pickton Farms, over 50 flavours of hookery smoked bacon.”

Pickton was convicted of six counts of second-degree murder in 2007 for killing vulnerable women he targeted on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. He is suspected of connection to at least 49 murders, many of them sex workers, and Crown stayed charges in another 20 killings after his conviction.
