The City of Vancouver’s pricey campaign against the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion was “all about politics” and not an actual move to stop it, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation says.
Details of the city’s ad campaign against the Trans Mountain pipeline were made available by request filed under the Freedom of Information Act. The paperwork shows that the city spent $300,000 on research and advertising.
The majority of the budget ($273,000) was spent on research used by the city during National Energy Board hearings in 2014 and 2015. The results of that research are available on the city’s website.
