💳Lower interchange fees could mean thousands in annual savings for more small businesses. But Visa and Mastercard are raising other fees, potentially clawing back some of those savings. Small businesses need real relief, not new fees that eat into it.

Crime is one of the top concerns we hear from Manitoba small businesses. A dedicated Crown unit for retail theft and property crime is a welcome initiative. We hope all parties can work together to take action!

Great to meet with Minister Moroz yesterday to discuss Manitoba’s red tape initiatives and opportunities to reduce the burden on small businesses.
CFIB will always advocate for small businesses across Manitoba and Canada.🤝

La Parfumerie’s situation is about more than one business. It highlights a broader issue with municipal policy: not every small business operates in the same way, so a one-size-fits-all approach to zoning doesn’t always work. ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/article/…

🎙️A perfect case showing how municipal red tape can have very real consequences for small firms.
La Parfumerie is just one example of why municipal rules should consider the size, nature & actual impact of a business. I joined @CBCManitoba to discuss. youtube.com/watch?v=HtFeWERK…

Now that ballots are set ahead of the civic election next month -- it's up to Winnipeggers to decide what candidates best align with their top priorities. Global's Teagan Rasche spoke to business leaders to find out what they need to thrive over the next 4 years.
Manitoba small business confidence slips again. "Wages were the most common cost pressure for Manitoba small businesses this month, cited by 71% of owners. Tax & regulatory costs followed at 63%, with fuel costs close behind at 61%." via @winnipegsun winnipegsun.com/news/manitob…
It was great to meet with St. James candidate Tyler Crichton and St. Boniface candidate Sylvie Schmitt, both running for City Council, to discuss CFIB’s small business platform!
The message from local businesses is clear: tackle rising costs, cut red tape, improve safety and limit construction disruptions. Read our platform here: cfib-fcei.ca/hubfs/advocacy/…

Winnipeg received a failing grade in the CFIB’s first Canada Municipal Report Card, citing significant room for improvement in business friendliness, regulatory burden, and cost burden despite fair property tax bit.ly/4AKocw2
ALT Winnipeg flunks CFIB's first municipal report card
Small businesses are paying attention to Manitoba’s municipal elections. In a CFIB survey, 77% said their council hasn’t paid enough attention to small business issues. Candidates should take note.

1 in 2 small business owners say they’d advise against starting a business right now. “Small business owners have spent years navigating rising costs & now the tariff war is piling fresh uncertainty & added costs on top of already weak consumer demand & low business confidence.”
Only 18 per cent of small business owners advise starting a business today, said the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. Read on financialpost.com/entreprene…
📄CFIB's Municipal Report Card gives a snapshot of where things stand & more importantly, where there’s an opportunity to improve.

🗳️With Manitoba’s municipal elections fast approaching, now is the time for candidates to talk about how they’ll support small businesses!
