Manitoba amid growing debt and debt projections
The province faces a mounting deficit of 422 million this year and more than 30 billion in existing debt. Projections show debt rising by about 1.36 billion by 2019, with up to 1 348 dollars more per Manitoban and annual interest costs around 44 million. The government plans to draw 45 million from the rainy day fund and rely on nearly 300 million from in year adjustments. Critics decry the no problem rhetoric as misleading while warning of higher costs and slower growth.

Simple plan to cut spending and repay debt in Manitoba
Todd MacKay of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation urges a gradual reduction of projected spending increases for 2016 17 through 2019 to balance the budget. The plan eliminates rainy day fund withdrawals and fantasy funding, saving over 500 million by 2019 to pay down debt and free up funds for roads health and education.
