💳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.

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…

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…

MB's latest announcement is good news for the Port of Churchill, but why stop there?
CFIB has long called for the PST to be removed from ALL capital investments, especially for SMEs, which make up 99% of all firms in Manitoba.
If Manitoba is truly open for business, let’s level the playing field & give all firms the incentive to invest, grow & strengthen the economy! 💪ctvnews.ca/canada/article/ma…

🚨Winnipeg restaurants are facing a tough environment, with rising costs, crime, staffing shortages and intense competition putting pressure on already-thin margins.
Manitoba can help level the playing field by expanding its grocery PST exemption to restaurant meals—something CFIB has been calling for.

Manitoba businesses are bracing for tariffs as the trade deadline looms. The latest round of tariffs has a long list of items, from hockey sticks to honey. Toni De Guzman spoke with a beekeeper about the buzzing uncertainty in the community.
