Manitoba Taxpayers Federation year end provincial roundup
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation reviews Manitoba government actions in 2010, praising the elimination of the small business income tax but criticizing wage hikes, rising school taxes, and a lack of inflation adjustments to the basic personal exemption. It questions BiPole III costs, calls for more taxpayer transparency, and urges a 2011 shift toward lower deficits and broader public input on major projects. Colin Craig leads the Prairie office.
