Taxpayers pressed by high taxes as health and education funding grows
The piece argues Manitoba taxpayers face rising levies while health and education outcomes lag. It cites higher teacher and nurse salaries, a 210 percent real-term funding increase since 1971, and growing administration costs. It urges reform via price signals, competition, and choice rather than more spending. It notes unions run ads to persuade voters for higher funding.
