Recent Canadian polling simply confirmed what everyone already knew, Canadians are concerned that life is getting more expensive as the price of food and fuel drive record levels of inflation.
Officials hoped to see more spending from the province on education, which saw a 1.3 per cent spending increase in Saskatchewan's 2022-2023 budget announced on Wednesday.

Busy Spring Session in the Manitoba Legislature

It’s certainly been a busy spring session in the Manitoba Legislature. The NDP recently decided to delay the passage of Bill 71, The Education Property Tax Reduction Act, which would allow Manitobans to receive their education property tax rebate cheques and provide tax relief. The NDP have been using procedural delays in the Legislature to stall this bill, but have yet to tell Manitobans if they will support it or deny this tax relief measure. Manitobans deserve to know where the NDP stands on this issue.
