Michael Nitefor, President of Air Lab, Inc., joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss the future of Ontario’s auto industry — and why he believes the current model is no longer sustainable.
In this free Three Minute preview, Nitefor argues that decades of government intervention and subsidies have left Canada vulnerable as the North American auto industry changes around it. He warns that Ontario could lose a major part of its manufacturing base if policymakers continue trying to preserve an old model.
But Nitefor also sees an opportunity. Canada still has the workers, infrastructure, supply chain and technical expertise needed to build something new — if entrepreneurs and the private sector are given room to lead.
The full conversation goes much further into tariffs, corporate welfare, supply management, taxpayer subsidies and what a completely new Canadian automotive model could look like.
