Did you know that it can be easier to trade with the U.S. than between provinces in Canada? In this episode of Government Policy Unpacked, we’re diving into interprovincial trade barriers—the invisible rules and regulations that drive up prices, limit consumer choice, and hold back businesses from growing across the country.

We’ll explore:

  • How these barriers cost Canadians money and slow down the economy
  • Why government inaction has kept these restrictions in place for decades
  • The impact on industries like energy, food, trucking, and alcohol
  • How breaking down these barriers could create jobs, lower costs, and boost trade across Canada
  • What the federal and provincial governments can do to fix the problem

With global trade uncertainty and increasing economic pressures, it’s time for Canada to unlock its full economic potential. Should we finally build a truly unified Canadian market? Tune in now to get the full picture and find out what you can do to push for change.
