Stephen LeDrew sits down with Brian Lilley of the Toronto Sun to discuss a shocking government handout to Chapmans, a rich and successful family-owned ice cream company in Ontario. The provincial Conservative government gave $23 million of taxpayer money to support the $200 million expansion of its plant. Lilley explores why governments hand out funds to wealthy, established companies, the role of bureaucrats in shaping these decisions, and the broader implications of corporate welfare—even under a Conservative government. A quick, insightful look at politics, policy, and public money in Canada.
