Watch the video: Should pension funds help build Canada's future? | TVO's The Rundown

April 9, 2026| Video, In the media

TVO’s new nightly current affairs show lays out that the federal Liberals are pitching big, costly bets such as nuclear power, critical minerals and high-speed rail as central to Canada’s economic future, raising questions about who pays and whether pension funds should help finance projects tied to economic sovereignty. Matthew Mendelsohn and Keith Ambachtsheer join host Jeyan Jaganathan to examine the risks and rewards of tapping pension capital. Then, economist Kaylie Tiessen looks critically at the surge in “Buy Canadian” policies and whether they actually deliver on their economic promises.
