Is Canada "Going Down the Tubes"?

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges facing Canada's business environment and potential policy changes to improve investment and job growth.

Is Canada still a good place to do business? More companies are holding back investment or moving it elsewhere. That means fewer opportunities, slower growth, and pressure on jobs and living standards. Why is this happening? What’s driving capital out of Canada? And what policy changes could help turn things around? Join David Leis live with Catherine Swift, President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers & Businesses of Canada, and Ron Koslowsky, business and investment strategist, as they talk through what’s going on and what Canada needs to do next.
