      I think we’ll need the fine print,the borders are open but what are the underlying taxes and surcharges

    4. Little-Speed-2436 on

      Great, now do at least a part of EVERYTHING else. Like accreditations, truck driving standards, all the thousands of things the average person like me never thinks of. Do the things that may actually benefit Canada’s economy significantly…

      Only Quebec didn’t sign. The territories didn’t sign either, which is totally reasonable.

      About time and it’s insane that we have any trade barriers inside our own country.

    9. nothinbutshame on

      There shouldn’t be ANY inter prov. Barriers..unless its AB because they are traitors.

      How beaten down am I living in Alberta that I expected to open this article and see that Alberta was one of the provinces to turn down this agreement. Just because…well, turning down mutually beneficial things that strengthen national cohesion is kind of their thing.

      I can’t believe it took this long! It should have been done years ago, but certainly by the time of American tariffs it should have been a no-brainer.

      Are there not 10 premiers? Who’s the hold out?

      Edit: Actually there are 13. I forgot about the territories. What kind of Canadian am I, right?

      Does this mean people in provinces that don’t carry high strength (Everclear-like products) can order them online? Or are those bans still in effect? Hope so, making tincture with 40% vodka is annoying…

      We’ve only been talking about this for a year and a half? Hard to tell if Donald Trump or Canadians are the biggest impediment to Canadian prosperity.

      Seeing as Canada and Australia have many shared historical experiences as provinces / states became Confederated / Federated, politicians across the provinces should look at Section 92 of the Australian constitution.

      It “prevents states from blocking the free movement of goods between states, including by stopping their sale or exchange into markets in other states. A state law that effectively prevents or obstructs interstate marketing would likely be invalid.”

      (Summarized into plain English using Wikipedia).

      How about all the other trade barriers that exist?

      When are the provinces going to do something about those for which the Feds get blamed (because this is Canada and this is one of our preferred stupidities)?

      Anyone know?

      Does this mean the LCBO will stock wines from other provinces? Or I have to order it from the winery shipped to me?

    24. SneakyBishop on

      So can I order PEI wine/mead/spirits to my door in Saskatchewan, now? Or does the provincial monopoly still have to wet their beak?

    25. 0ttervonBismarck on

      This is nice but its a half measure. I want to be able to order whatever I want online from other provinces. LCBO has an abysmal selection of imported liquor compared to Alberta & Quebec.

    26. casualguitarist on

      Canada needs free flow of almost ALL goods that are made in Canada like most developed countries do. Alcohol is a tiny tiny part of this this isn’t really a „win“ and won’t move the needle.

    28. KermitsBusiness on

      does this mean i’ll be able to order online from another province? because i’d love to order some stuff from Nova Scotia but it always says they only deliver within the province

      So far it has just been bluster and a leverage card to make the US pause when making changes to our economic relationship.

      Since the US is not interested in respecting our sovereignty, and is insisting on waging an economic war, it’s time that we keep our money inside Canada.

    30. MaPoutine on

      We need to build on this further by reducing taxes on, say, Canadian grown/produced wines. Our own wines should be championed and cheaper within our own country.

      Nova Scotia has some great white and Rosé wines to go along with all our great BC wines.

    31. pilot1nspector on

      They should have done this first fu<king time Trump was making threats like they said they were going to.

    32. bcbuddy on

      Glad it only took the near break down of the post WW2 economy and the imminent collapse of the Canadian export economy for the provinces to allow the selling of liquor to individuals in other provinces.

    36. Chance-Curve-9679 on

      This is what Trump doesn’t understand. Much of the reason why there is so much trade with the states is because of inter provincial trade barriers. Now with Trump making it hard to trade with the US the premiers have decided it’s time to lower provincial trade barriers. I think the only way Trump is going to get rid of the tariffs is to reintroduce the streaming taxes. 

    37. _EvilCupcake on

      FUCKING FINALLY! Now more of this! The fact that it’s simpler for companies to order stuff from overseas than our own country makes no sense.

    41. b-runn on

      The only conclusion I can make from this is instead of competition causing all the other provinces matching Alberta and Quebec prices, somehow everyone will end up with BC prices

    43. adamast0r on

      Didn’t even have to click on the article to guess correctly that Quebec was the outlier. Typical

    44. 1baby2cats on

      Took them 1 year to remove trade barriers for alcohol only . Can they work a little faster?

    47. 5555 on

      Does this mean the rest of the country can finally get Iceberg beer from Newfoundland??

    48. Academic-Activity277 on

      There is a much deeper, more insidious interprovincial trade barrier through out the private sector. The country is carved up by the oligarchy. It keeps Canadians divided while reaping the benefits.

    49. PingGuerrero on

      Great news. Hopefully this will expand to more local products not just alcohol.
