Catherine Swift: Why Government Handouts Always Fail

Catherine Swift, President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada, joins Stephen LeDrew to expose why Canada keeps throwing billions at failing companies. From the half-billion dollars paid to Algoma Steel while laying off a thousand workers, to massive EV subsidies that have already failed, Swift argues that government handouts never work and never have. Lower taxes, less red tape and a competitive environment would do far more than any bailout. A candid look at why Ottawa keeps picking losers and how Canada can actually rebuild its economy.
