Can we stop posting think tanks who have a political bend on here? Or at least label them as OP EDs because they are just as useful as such.
>Furthermore, Prime Minister Carney stressed the imperative to break down barriers to interprovincial trade. To build a stronger and fairer economy, he committed to table legislation by July 1, 2025, to eliminate all federal barriers to interprovincial trade and labour mobility and to remove all federal exemptions under the Canada Free Trade Agreement.

Maybe this year? Or do we need to have an election first before they consider getting it done?
Are we still waiting on solutions to this from the Liberals? One of the first things they did when Carney won was get a whole bunch of additional powers to make this happen.
One of Carneys defining leadership quality ls has been to not use the feds to force shit on the provinces, the way it should be .
Hes setting examples and keeping the liberal banner to himself , not dancing around trying to plant flags for optics .
Set the environment, encourage the process and let the provinces hash it out . Hes put tge responsibility of provincal governments back into the hands of tge premiers, success and failure is now shared and voters are watching .
The Feds did their part, but if the provinces can’t reciprocate I don’t want to create a constitutional crisis out of it. Carrot, not stick, is the way to go on this for the Federsl government.
However I’m not sure conservative think tanks like this one necessarily want to avoid that constitutional crisis. I think they and their rightwing billionaire backers would be happy to undermine national unity with some jumped up excuse of interprovincial trade barriers to justify it.
