Globe editorial: The junk-food economics of corporate subsidies

Globe editorial: The junk-food economics of corporate subsidies

Corporate subsidies have become a significant problem for the Canadian economy, with Ottawa projected to spend .4 billion on subsidies by fiscal 2028. Economist John Lester’s analysis shows that the majority of these subsidies are ineffective and actually harm the economy. Only 20% of total subsidies have a positive impact on real income. The subsidies also contribute to a fiscal burden, requiring Ottawa to raise taxes or issue debt to cover the costs. The Liberal government’s continued indulgence in corporate subsidies, particularly in the electric vehicle industry, is criticized for not creating the promised jobs of the future and potentially shifting workers from Canadian-owned firms. Scrapping these subsidies could provide an economic boost and free up billions of dollars for other priorities, such as reducing the deficit, cutting taxes, or funding national defense or child care.
