$300k spend on TV ads promoting the Canada Pension Plan blasted by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Have you seen ads on TV lately, boasting about all the great ways your Canada Pension Plan money is being invested and put to good use?

Well, those prime-time commercials come with a price tag... a 300 thousand dollar price tag.

And it's got some critics asking: why are taxpayers having to spend all that money to promote the Canada Pension Plan, when people are required BY LAW to contribute to it? Surely the Canada Pension Plan doesn't need any promoting?!
