Abstract
- The article focuses on Winnipeg, Manitoba and its mayor Glen Murray. In a national poll, Winnipeg ranked last of seven cities as a fun place to be. In the business section was a Canada West Foundation study showing Winnipeg has the worst "infrastructure deficit" of any city in Western Canada. By one modest measure it is spending $188 million less every year than it needs to spend on its streets and parks and drains. Murray is spending his autumn selling a "New Deal" for Winnipeg, a soup-to-nuts overhaul of the city's tax system. It is compatible with his friend Paul Martin's proposed "New Deal" for Canada's cities, an orderly transfer of federal cash into local coffers.
