Machjo Posted October 6, 2018 Report Posted October 6, 2018 Given how Hong Kong and Singapore have already unilaterally adopted free trade with Canada, Canada should do the honourable thing of reciprocating. As for the UK, let's do so for five years and see if the UK reciprocates. Unilateral free trade does have its limits in that it can extend only to intentional trade barriers like tariffs and quotas and does not touch unintentional ones such as packaging and labeling rules, phytosanitary rules, etc. However, it would be a quick start and would not prevent Canada from negotiating deeper trade agreements with them beyond tariffs and quotas later on. Even without deeper agreements, however superficial unilateral free trade may be in limiting itself to only tariffs and quotas, even that alone would already be a positive step.
