Winnipeg – There is an old saying is that the only guarantees in life are death and taxes. A new Winnipeg Free Press-CTV Winnipeg survey conducted by Probe Research Inc. reveals that a majority of Winnipeggers agree that municipal tax increases must rise to maintain city services.

This survey of 602 Winnipeg adults, conducted between September 18 and October 1, shows that nearly two-thirds of Winnipeggers agree that property tax increases are “inevitable” in order to maintain basic services (64%, including 30% who strongly agree and 34% who moderately disagree). One-third of those surveyed, on the other hand, believe that the city can maintain its core services without tax increases (34%, including 20% who strongly disagree and 14% who moderately disagree). Two percent of those surveyed were unsure or did not respond.

Winnipeg, Manitoba – A majority of Winnipeg residents urge governments to allocate public money to road and bridge upgrades before they spend taxpayers’ cash on a dedicated rapid transit line, water system upgrades, or a new stadium for the Canadian Football League’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers. These findings were gathered from a random and representative telephone survey undertaken by Probe Research Inc. for the Winnipeg Free Press. Other research results reveal that relatively younger citizens are divided between support for bridge and street repairs and building a rapid transit system.
