Show Notes
Manitobas government is eliminating the provincial sales tax on food in grocery stores, starting July 1st, but excluding restaurants, convenience stores, and gas stations. This move aims to benefit low-income families, but critics argue it creates an unfair advantage for grocery chains and may encourage unhealthy food choices. The budget projects a revenue loss of $32 million annually, with an average savings of $22 per person.
