Well, the trade barriers aren't imposed by the federal government, so he can't just whip out his dick and make them disappear. Most trade barriers are really mismatched provincial regulations that make it difficult for businesses to establish standardized products or services from coast to coast, a patchwork network of provincial professional organizations, and a provincially enacted trade restrictions.
So, the federal government can only work as a mediator to make things happen.
Since he won the Liberal leadership, though, an interprovincial pact between Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia has been negotiated, with Manitoba signalling interest in signing on, and Nova Scotia and PEI have rolled out legislation to harmonize some of their regulations and standards. And I'm sure other deals have been struck, as well.
That sounds hopeful, the west also needs to eliminate all barriers. If companies appease all federal regulations, there's no reasons for provinces to care who gets sent what to each province. Let Canadian companies to fight each other and leave territorial guards out of it.
Yeah, I don't know. Gutting various industries in small provinces for the sake of companies in the big ones doesn't sound very neighbourly. Getting fucked over by Ontario, BC, or Alberta actually an upgrade in any real practical terms.
Every company that can't survive without government protection deserves to lose everything
Cool story. Guess you imagine yourself as being unaffected by things. Maybe you can fuck yourself with your privileged perch, then.
