U.S. brewers and Canadian airline Air Canada are gaining attention for ads that champion immigrant stories

U.S. brewer Anheuser-Busch has found itself in an accidental scandal this week after its long-planned Super Bowl ad with a pro-immigration story has been perceived to be an attack on the new U.S. president's policies.

The 60-second ad called "Born the Hard Way" shows Anheuser-Busch co-founder Adolphus Busch travelling by boat from Germany to the U.S. in 1850s. He goes through travails including jumping off a burning boat and catching a glimpse of Anheuser-Bush's Clydesdales mascots, before meeting fellow immigrant Eberhard Anheuser.

The Super Bowl at the NRG Stadium in Houston between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons airs Sunday on Fox. But the ads for Budweiser beer are as big a story as the game most years, because they offer a glimpse into the culture and are a great way to draw brand awareness during one of the most-watched television events of the year.

The Budweiser ad this year is being singled out for having such an uncharacteristic — 'if accidental' — political tone.

Air Canada wades in

While it's not a Super Bowl ad, the topic of immigration and Syrian refugees also features prominently in a digital ad released by Air Canada this week.

In it, the airline follows the story of a Syrian refugee family and how the airline helped them go from a camp in Turkey through Montreal and on to connect with family members in Victoria.
