Manitoba’s slashing the provincial sales tax on grocery staples like chips, pre-cooked chicken, and baked goods—killing the 7% tax for shoppers—but leaving restaurants, bars, and bakeries untouched.

Business groups are pushing back, demanding the tax cut extend to restaurants too, claiming they’re unfairly disadvantaged. A win for some, a debate for others—watch this space.
