Taxpayers Federation Launches Campaign to "Stop High Energy Bills"

TORONTO, ON: Today the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) launched a billboard, website and media campaign that is aimed at telling Ontario politicians to "leave our energy bills alone." The new campaign's goal is to engage the public to take action on the cost of political interference in the electricity sector, and the costs of the Ontario government's new cap-and-trade carbon tax that will take effect January 1, 2017. At a Monday morning press conference, CTF Ontario Director Christine Van Geyn unveiled the first of a series of billboards that will appear across Ontario. The first billboard is located in downtown Toronto at the corner of Front and Simcoe, and directs the public to CTF's campaign website www.StopHighEnergyBills.ca.
