It's been happening at a lightning pace ever since Dilbert creator Scott Adams made some dumb racist comments over the weekend, that has resulted in the popular strip being dropped by dozens of newspapers in the U.S. And now the controversy has reached Canada, with both the Toronto Star and the Globe & Mail confirming they will remove the long running comic from their pages, effective immediately. 

It doesn't run in all the Post newspapers, but those that do print it have also decided not to use it anymore.

On his Twitter feed, a defiant Adams insists he will take the cartoon private and put it up on a subscription-based website for those who still want to read it.
