Army Guy Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 According to the article and report done by the IMF, IF the actual gains are any where near what this report has said , why is this not Carneys number one priority...It states roughly 210 BIL added to our GDP.....That would solve almost all of our issues, increasing provincial handouts, fixing our health care, our education system, our military, building infra structure...getting things done.... Or maybe this article is nothing more that fairy dust, made up to sell papers, I mean Carney is a Banker he should know all of the benefit's this could bring to the nation, and yet it seems we as a nation are not that interested in the extra GDP this would bring Canada....like we are still a cluster of provinces and territories that like to operate independently of each other...... worried about their own bubble and people and Canada is just in the back ground someplace... I mean look at our nation, Alberta independence movement is growing rapidly, Quebec's movement is gain traction as well, as the BQ gains more of the voters strength...(with the liberals tanking badly in Quebec) It is almost like our diversity was a Liberal dream, that is now splitting us apart....and no one really cares.....and while we wrap our minds around that, it is no wonder we can't unite and solve these barriers or differences for 210 bil extra dollars of Income... Maybe it just me, but 210 extra bil sounds like a worthy path to explore... https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canadian-economy-report-imf-interprovincial-trade-9.7062567 1 1 Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

We've been told the same thing about getting rid of DST for even longer. Something that would even save lives apparently. Maybe if our kids ever figure out the formula for getting rid of DST they can apply it to trade barriers. 1 Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
eyeball Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 Apparently in the US they don't track or study the effect of their own internal barriers on their economy. They reach for studies on the effect they have here if or when anyone explores the issue. I'm betting its even more verboten down there than it is here.

Not that easy, Take Alberta and the rest of Canada will collapse quickly...Not sure what Quebec will do...but there is more to Canada than just oil and gas....US need critical minerals, and the rest of Canadian resources, lumber, steel aluminum, fresh water....there is a long list of nice shinny things Canada has to offer...Just don't expect any huge republican gains...at least not in the starting phases...but once Alberta , Saskatchewan, Manitoba leave the rest will be picked up for pennies on the dollar...If not it will be just like the Mexican border, flooded with white Canadians looking for work...might as well take the whole bunch of them...

Army Guy Posted January 29 Author Report Posted January 29 Another story about the same topic, why question is why are people not listening, this topic is being splashed around the media, and we are still talking about trump...

Posthaste: Miserable about food prices? There's a good reason for that I agree with the article and have been saying basically the same thing but, some folks seem to want to blame federal government for the high food prices. "Energy prices, labour costs, a weak Canadian dollar and adverse weather have all played a role" "Rising producer prices and the lingering effects of drought should keep Canadian food inflation at about 4 per cent," Federal barriers on inter-provincial trade has been lifted...Provinces still have some and "that domestic trade barriers between provinces amount to a nine per cent tariff and lifting these could boost Canada’s gross domestic product by seven per cent."

August1991 Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Au Québec, la loi indique que seule la SAQ est autorisée à importer des boissons alcooliques. Vous devez donc, même si vous achetez par Internet, vous adresser directement et obligatoirement à la SAQ (tel que décrit plus bas), même s’il s’agit de cadeaux, de dons, d’héritages ou de souvenirs de voyage. https://www.saq.com/fr/importation-boissons-alcooliques 4 minutes ago, TreeBeard said: Interprovincial trade barriers are put there by provinces.

There’s no jurisdiction. And withholding money to build hospitals unless they play nice would be political suicide, not to mention the harm. You would be the first to cry foul if Alberta was punished. Quote

I did not mention hospitals, i said national projects the ones Carney and the provinces have agreed upon....this is about removing provincial trade barriers....worth more than 210 bil that should be enough to motivate any one province Again your making assumptions...you know nothing about me...And right now Alberta is not the problem...in fact Alberta is leading the charge...nice deflection ...
