Alberta’s Opposition says the cost of just getting the word out on the province’s looming separation referendum is setting taxpayers back at least a third of a million dollars.
NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi says the new numbers come from a freedom of information request.
He says contracts show about $365,000 in fees for a televised address and promotional videos on social media platforms.
Nenshi says Albertans are being asked to pay up for what he calls political theatre by Premier Danielle Smith.
