Trade Barriers (lemmy.myserv.one)

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?

And we had headlines this week of a surge in trade to other countries. this is blatant misinformation

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.

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.

July 1 is his self-established deadline.
