Small businesses shouldn't have to feel unsafe in their own communities. Main Street is asking for a practical reset: tighter consequences for repeat and organized offenders; streamlined reporting and faster responses; and targeted supports that help owners. Stay tuned for a CFIB InsightBiz blog in April on crime and safety across Canada. #cdnpoli

Manitoba’s 2026 budget avoids new costs for small businesses but falls short on real relief. With rising costs and falling confidence, this was a missed opportunity to support SME's. Click here to see CFIB's full budget reaction: cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/manit…

So, let me try to get my head around this. CUPW issues a recommendation to its members to vote in favour of its agreement with Canada Post. But then the union President recommends members reject the deal. Little wonder CUPW is widely viewed as the most dysfunctional of any govt union. Canada Post union head urges 55,000 workers to turn down tentative agreement thestar.com/business/canad… via @torontostar

Great to see the House of Commons Industry Committee recommend a big bump in the small business corporate tax rate threshold (from $500K to $1M). This is a very positive report focused on measures to improve productivity.

At 3.2%, Ontario’s small business tax rate is among the highest in Canada, with the income threshold frozen at $500,000 for almost 20 years. CFIB is calling on the province to use the remaining $4B in its Protecting Ontario Account to deliver small business tax relief. It is time for change❗ 📢 Add your voice to the petition now: hubs.li/Q047zmgh0 #ONsmallbiz #CFIBadvocacy #SmallBusinessSupport #ONpoli
