Senior economist w/ @policyalternatives.ca, @marclee.bsky.social, said the whole debate over interprovincial trade is simply political posturing so that provinces and the federal government can seem like they are doing something to respond to Trump’s tariffs. #cdnecon theprovince.com/news/will-ne...
Will new deal between provinces on interprovincial trade actually help Canada's economy?
The agreement is designed to provide mutual recognition for products like clothing, toys and vehicles but doesn't address barriers on food.

In this ep we make the point that you can never have a budget as harsh as 1995 again unless you rebuild the welfare state first, which we haven't done.
But I think I'm going to be mumbling the phrase "Minister Champagne is repealing the yacht tax" to myself for a while. 🍾

To get buy-in from all 10 provinces (which it didn't), Canada's constitution has a clause allowing provinces to override its fundamental rights and freedoms. The framers -- I've spoken to some -- imagined it used in existential-crisis cases. Well, a province just used it to break a teachers' strike
