PRINCE ALBERT, SK: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is calling on federal, provincial and municipal governments to reverse their decision to spend $60 million on the Diversity Gardens project while running massive deficits.
"These governments are plunging Manitobans deeper into debt by billions; they continue to impose heavy tax burdens; and, they're struggling to fund basic services such as healthcare and road repair; but, they have tens of millions for a new garden?" asked Todd MacKay, the CTF's Prairie Director. "This country has a rich heritage of diversity that we nourish in our neighbourhoods and it's wonderful to enjoy plant life in nature, but we have to say no to these luxury projects at a time when we're borrowing money to run hospitals and fix roads."
