Way to go Atlantic Canada.
I would love to see a country wide provincial poll.

If they drop trade barriers between provinces, they estimate a 15% decrease in some areas.

This is the sort of thing we should have been doing all along, but it's vitally important that we renovate internal trade between provinces now to make it easier and cheaper for everyone.

the problem was that much of it was part of NAFTA/CUSMA, it takes time to take down those barriers

Yes I understand. Just wanted to alert people that our government is trying to find ways to help diminish the tariffs. And frankly, it is on its own, a good thing.

For basic items this maybe true enough, but people won’t be stupid with their money. More business should encourage Canadian companies to be more competitive, or consumers will look to other products sources soon enough. And business is still business!

Would they be willing to buy and use a Canadian-made e-scooter to reduce their dependency on US-produced gasoline?

I will buy from Canada of course, but have no problem buying from any other country except the US, Russia and North Korea.
