Still, the Sask. Party sits on its hands, doing nothing to lower costs for families and continuing to pile on tens of millions in egregious taxes for groceries, kids’ clothing, and more.
“It’s been 18 years of this mismanaging, tax-and-squander government that cares only about propping up their friends and insiders,” said Trent Wotherspoon, Saskatchewan NDP Finance Shadow Minister. “Self-reliant Saskatchewan people are working harder and harder and still falling farther behind.
“It’s time to end the taxes on groceries on clothing and end the constant run of financial waste and mismanagement by Scott Moe and his ministers.”
The new survey, conducted by Angus Reid, found cost of living was the No. 1 issue facing 62 per cent of Saskatchewan people. More than a quarter (26 per cent) said they were worried about the Sask. Party’s deficit and government spending.
As well, among Saskatchewan people surveyed:
“This survey makes it clear that most Saskatchewan people don’t have a dollar to spare,” Wotherspoon said. “It’s having a massive impact on their quality of life and on the local small businesses, restaurants, and tourism ventures they would typically support with their hard-earned money.
“This is bad for people’s wallets and bad for the economy. It’s time for a government that’s focused on building a future where everyone can pay the bills, put a roof over their head, food on the kitchen table, and still be able to put a little money away for retirement and a well-deserved break.”
