The Trade Barrier NOBODY Saw Coming
from Tap The Maple · host Bakes On Things
Mark Carney says Canada needs One Canadian Economy by tearing down internal trade barriers. But a new pipeline agreement with British Columbia has economists asking a completely different question: did Ottawa just create a brand-new trade barrier instead?In this episode of Tap the Maple, we examine the proposed royalty arrangement, why economists are calling it "interprovincial trade barriers on steroids," and whether rewarding provinces for allowing national infrastructure to cross their borders could create dangerous incentives for future projects.Is this smart negotiation?Or the beginning of a new generation of internal toll booths across Canada?#Canada#MarkCarney#TradeBarriers#Pipeline#CanadianPolitics#Economics#TapTheMaple#Alberta#BritishColumbia#News
