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

The thing is, companies from thr larger provinces have so many more market protections than those from small ones. They have distribution networks already. Thry have a larger local customer base. They're in positions to just expand and take over.

You're more likely to see companies from Ontario or BC kill products from PEI or Nova Scotia than you are to see them on your shelves. Centralization is just cheaper.
