The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is blasting the provincial government for a $250,000 ad campaign that was used to promote the Churchill Falls MOU.
Once the deal was publicly announced in December, the ads almost immediately started rolling out across all platforms.
Documents obtained by the federation indicate that between NL Hydro and the province, $250,000 was spent.
Atlantic director Devin Drover says taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be used for government “patting itself on the back,” noting that if the deal is good, it should speak for itself.
