Lloydminster taxpayers are paying nearly two per cent more in property taxes because Saskatchewan refuses to fund policing on its side of the city. According to the City of Lloydminster’s 2026 draft budget, the Police Services line totals $13,750,237, up from $13,468,545 last year.

National outlets earlier reported that some Conservative MPs had missed previous budget-related votes due to
