Manitoba’s slashing provincial sales tax on everyday snacks and pre-cooked foods like chips, chicken, and baked goods—making them cheaper at grocery and convenience stores, but not at restaurants or bars.

Business groups also push for broader relief, claiming restaurants lose out. A move sparking heated debate—and possibly more changes ahead.
