Cinema Tax Attacks Winnipeg Moviegoers and Arts Groups
The piece denounces a proposed ten percent cinema tax as an unfair burden on moviegoers and a subsidy to arts groups. It criticizes Mayor Murray for backsliding on scrapping the amusement tax, notes high ticket prices at opera houses, and argues the film industry drives local jobs and GDP, urging removal of punitive levies.
