Post your reply
the most surprising type of reply to this is people claiming that getting rid of these restrictions is the real corporate regulatory capture. the general populace is so economically illiterate it’s utterly despairing
Lmfao and the quantify the loss in USD. They’re so fuckin cooked
I mean it’s Deloitte coming in and telling them how to fix their country so… 
NEVADA - have your housing

Multimillionaire Jacky Rosen took thousands 
in campaign cash from real estate executives who jacked up housing costs and EVICTED hardworking families.

and another good article: blogs.lse.ac.uk/businessreview
it’s worth noting it’s not literal interprovincial taxes but mostly various protectionist policies that heavily favor local labor/business/inputs
Is there a list of which, specifically, are the most important/egregious trade barriers?
the second link here is a good article about it. but there’s so many and it’s so sprawling idk if there’s a good consolidated list somewhere

Internal trade restrictions have been legal since 1867. Nothing new there.
There's no tariffs though. It's things like alcohol and tobacco. Not cheese.
it’s a lot more than alcohol and tobacco. even those are ridiculous
and just because it’s not a literal tariff or tax doesn’t mean it isn’t as harmful. these are rules passed to enrich incumbent corporate interests and they do real financial harm to the Canadian populace
for once they’re not the only problem
child. all the provinces have tons of protectionist laws on the books
A. I imagine all states have this.
B. I don't think it's malicious. Profit is not the end all.
it is malicious. this is large corporate or organized interest groups creating trade barriers to their own benefit that drive up prices
these rules mean they are making more profit because the Canadian consumers are paying more for the same goods and services

I agree, but please note that the occupational licensing mentioned as part of Canada's problem IS a growing problem within the United States as well, and restricts competition WITHIN as well as BETWEEN states
They also allow Bell Canada and Telus to sell exclusively US Internet bandwidth to Canadian customers. If one Canadian wants to talk to another Canadian, 70% of the time (when one or both of them are Bell or Telus customers) both Canadians have to pay to haul that traffic over

Is it accurate to refer to this system as federal? As far as the economy goes, is it more of a confederacy?

That is crazy that the provinces have tariffs on goods from other province's.
That's absolutely insane.
I believe that if you find yourself replicating the economic policies of prerevolutionary France, you should have a deep think and probably change course.
JJ McCullough will look at this this and say "too much centralized power in the federal government, unlike in the US."

INTERSTATE TRADE BARRIERS
AND THE CONSTITUTION
Pretty old, but the US still has these problems...
Well, Canada ranks above US in economic freedom, so that’d be a reason to do the shitting on.
Ya this isn’t new, had it since the start of confederation, people usually support this but now the economy is bad and people care.
Most Canadians have good view of America btw
That entire graph explains why Quebec gets such a chunk of the federal money
"If you're going to force us to be part of this multiculti libtard experiment of yours ya better make it worth it"
Canada has the most ignorant people in earth in it
Greedy and selfish people who don’t care about anyone but themselves
They sell kill or sell thier children for cash in a heartbeat
