What happened to abolishing all domestic trade barriers since Carney cannot get a trade with any country?

    Cannot get a trade with any country? We already have trade agreements with almost every country. The only thing that has changed recently is the US.

    What kind of propaganda bullshit are you strung out on?

    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.

          Personally, as someone in Ontario, I want to see more products in my grocery store and Shoppers from YT, NT, NU, QC, NL, PE, NS, and NB.

          I was tickled pink seeing a specific QC brand of sunscreen at Shoppers today, and at competitive pricing to ON made, and especially to the US brands.

          I believe giving our smaller provinces more access to competitive selling in provinces with larger population will help our smaller provinces’ economy survive and hopefully flourish while The Turnip attacks our economy.

          I’ve also been thinking Canadian companies, big and small, will look at selling outside of North America, too, if they arent already. A friend in NZ sent me a photo of 100% Canadian maple syrup being sold at her grocery store. She was so excited to see it!

    What do you mean he can’t get a trade with any country? We have CETA, CPTPP, and many other free trade pacts with various countries around the world, 15 FTA in total with others in various degrees of negotiation. Our trade with Britain and Europe has increased substantially since the tariff war began and many Canadian companies are adjusting their supply chains to other markets.

      Carney went to UK for deal and came home empty. Is Trump also going to send Carney home empty or will Trump announce an agreement?

        We have an intermediate trade deal with UK still in effect, Canada-UK TCA. There is about 2% of trade that we do with the UK that isn’t covered. Trumps deal with the UK is kind of a bullshit deal. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c15ng4g5g0eo

        Also we still have the CUSMA trade pact still which Trump signed and lauded as the best trade deal ever, but has since reneged on it. The agreement isn’t supposed to be renegotiated until 2026.

        You really are fuckin dense aren’t you? At first I thought, idk, maybe you were being intentionally contrarian, you’ve made it clear in past posts/comments what you think of Canada. So I figured maybe you were just trying to “troll the Libs” or something shit.

        I get it now though. You have the reading comprehension level of a pebble.

          People who only talk on the internet and never get invited over to eat at other people’s houses, who never get invited to attend parties and social functions, have no understanding of what troll means

              Do you mind if I ask, is that meant to be hurtful? What is it that you’re going for? Is that statement intended to be an insult? What reaction are going for so that I can respond?
