So much more effective things, (rail? roads? infrastructure) or better for workers (EI improvements!) -- could have been used. Instead we got theatre. #canpoli #cdnpoli #internaltrade www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

🇨🇦 Everyone's blaming Trump. Fair.

But the IMF says Canada locks $210 BILLION inside its own borders through provincial red tape. 🔒

U.S. tariffs hit: ~1.5% GDP.
Our own barriers: up to 7% GDP. 🚧

We built this prison ourselves.

9/11 The uncertainty has prompted Canadian provinces to lift some internal trade barriers—a move Wong says could reduce Canada's reliance on the US market. "Once that fully happens, tastes will change and habits will form."

The memo also stresses the importance of "no-cost approaches" like cutting red tape and removing barriers to internal trade, given the "current fiscal climate." 6/8

2nd last stop tonight: a holiday party for the Board of Trade's policy team. Brought a fine bottle of British Columbia wine, because #ordercanadian #internaltrade

We still need this done. We'd all love to thumb our nose at Trump but the fact is to successfully pivot and keep economically stable, these barriers need to be removed soonest. This will create east-west all Canadian trade instead of a north-south Canada-US trade. #InternalTrade #cdnpoli
