马尼托巴省由于野火和水力损失,赤字翻了一番,达到16亿美元,尽管税收有所上涨,并承诺到2027年实现预算平衡。 Manitoba’s deficit doubled to $1.6 billion due to wildfires and hydro losses, despite tax hikes and promises to balance the budget by 2027.

马尼托巴的预计赤字在本财政年度猛增至16亿美元, 比春季预算预测的7.94亿美元增加了一倍以上, 根据2025年12月15日最新财政数据, Manitoba’s projected deficit has surged to $1.6 billion for the current fiscal year, more than double the $794 million forecast in the spring budget, according to a December 15, 2025, fiscal update. 急剧增加的主要原因是,极端干旱天气造成前所未有的野火季节,导致大规模疏散,应急费用超过3.7亿美元。 The sharp increase is primarily due to an unprecedented wildfire season caused by extreme dry weather, which led to widespread evacuations and over $370 million in emergency response costs. 危机还严重影响了马尼托巴省水电公司,使其收入减少6.84亿美元,因为低水位阻碍了发电。 The crisis also severely impacted Manitoba Hydro, reducing its revenues by $684 million as low water levels hampered power generation. 尽管财产税增加了19.5%(加拿大各省增幅最高),而各省通货膨胀率为3.3%(加拿大各省的通货膨胀率最高),但国民民主党政府重申承诺在2027年10月选举之前平衡预算,不削减服务。 Despite a 19.5% rise in property taxes—the highest provincial increase in Canada—and a provincial inflation rate of 3.3%, the highest among Canadian provinces, the NDP government reaffirmed its commitment to balance the budget before the October 2027 election without cutting services. 反对派进步保守党批评政府一直没有达到财政目标,并质疑政府的长期战略。 The opposition Progressive Conservatives criticized the government for consistently missing fiscal targets and questioned its long-term strategy.
