The federal government comes out with their first budget in two years on Monday, and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation has created a wish list of sorts.
Federal Director Aaron Wudrick says he would like to see some spending control in Ottawa with this budget.
“We’ve obviously spent hundreds of millions that we had not planned on spending, and we’re looking to see the government demonstrate that they recognize that we’re in worse shape than in previous years,” said Wudrick. “And hoping that they don’t plan to embark on any sort of big ticket new permanent spending, which is really sort of the last thing we should be looking at right now.”

CALGARY The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is saying a pause on a project to build the future home of the Calgary Flames is a red flag. “Calgarians, we love our Flames and we want to continue to support our Flames but with tickets not taxes,” said Franco Terrazzano, Alberta director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation. The cost to build the $550-million event centre is supposed to be split evenly between Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation and the city. Construction was supposed to begin this summer. The arena was scheduled to open in time for the 2024/2025 NHL season. Calgary Municipal Land Corporation, the project manager has confirmed the project is on hold because the cost has gone up.
