I’m being asked which mayoral candidate with the potential to win Winnipeg’s election has the better platform when it comes to policing, recreation, housing, taxation and equity, topics we regularly publish on at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) Manitoba office.

For Immediate Release (Winnipeg, Treaty One) – The Manitoba government’s announcement today is insufficient to address the impacts of inflation on Manitoba families.
Families with children: It is regressive for public funds to provide a flat amount for families with a household income of less than $175,000 a year with children. The cost of necessities, such as shelter, food and fuel, make up more than half of the expenditures of poor households (in the lowest income quintile). Comparatively, households that are higher up the income ladder spend less than 30% on such necessities.
August 25, 2022 Winnipeg, Treaty One Territory – The Manitoba Office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives calculates that a family of four, with two working parents, would require a wage of $18.34/ hour in Winnipeg, $15.66/ hour in Brandon and $16.25/ hour in Thompson in order to maintain a modest standard of living in each respective city. The living wage reflects the income required to support a family based on the actual costs of living in a specific community. This includes costs for housing, transportation, and food, among other items.
