Corrupt Policy? Catherine Swift Doesn’t Hold Back On Carney

Catherine Swift, President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers & Businesses of Canada, joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss Canada’s struggling economy, business closures, job losses, taxes, red tape, and Mark Carney’s approach to government.In this episode, Swift argues that the solutions are not complicated: shrink government, lower taxes, reduce red tape, and create a more competitive business climate. Instead, she says Ottawa is creating new departments, expanding bureaucracy, and replacing the consumer carbon tax with a hidden industrial carbon tax.LeDrew and Swift also discuss Carney’s net-zero agenda, major project delays, government secrecy, conflicts of interest, Brookfield, the Vancouver condo deal, and whether Canada’s economic policy is becoming too cozy with well-connected insiders.This is a blunt conversation about Canada’s economy, business confidence, government waste, and whether Ottawa is helping the private sector — or suffocating it.Topics covered in this episode:Canada’s worsening business climateFactory closures and job lossesShrinking government versus growing bureaucracyTaxes, red tape and competitivenessThe hidden industrial carbon taxCarney’s net-zero agendaMajor projects and government delaysGovernment secrecy and accountabilityConflicts of interest and Brookfield questionsCrony capitalism and insider politics Hosted on Acast.
