Episode Synopsis

Dining out is about more than food — it’s about community, youth jobs, and economic resilience. Kris Barnier joins Shane Hewitt to talk about what’s really at stake as restaurants face growing financial pressure, with 41% barely staying afloat. They discuss the proven boost of a GST holiday, how restaurants anchor neighborhoods, and why affordability is now a key concern for everyday diners. This episode is both a reality check and a hopeful argument for smarter policy and renewed investment in where we gather. GUEST:Kris Barnier Originally aired on 2025-11-04
