The Canadian Taxpayers Federation called for an end to tax-free status for Indian reserves. On the site of Sonshine Car Wash and Gas, they publicized the $54 million in tobacco taxes and $15 million in fuel taxes forfeited to Saskatchewan reserve businesses every year. Dion MacArthur says that since part of the City of Regina became an urban reserve with a gas station on it, he has lost 75 per cent of his tobacco sales and 25 per cent of his overall sales.
