The ads, which appear on social media, feature smiling single people, couples and families with different dollar figures that represent their estimated annual savings A man called John is depicted as saving $632, while a family with two kids named “The Kims” is shown as saving $1,386. The tax cuts are already in effect and were part of the Progressive Conservative budget released last spring, months before the Oct. 3 election that saw the NDP sweep to power.“I think this is an important way for us to ensure Manitobans know about the work that we’re doing and delivering on our commitments,” Finance Minister Adrien Sala said in an interview.The NDP could have halted one of the tax cuts after the election, Sala added, but chose not to.
The ads follow another ad campaign that has promoted the NDP government’s temporary suspension of the provincial fuel tax, which started Jan. 1 and is set to run until June 30.Khan said the Tory income tax cuts are better because they are permanent, while the NDP’s fuel-tax holiday, which saves consumers 14 cents a litre at the pump, is temporary.
