@MikePMoffatt @ruffoloj It’s not about booze. You’re a housing guy so you’d know our electrical codes across the PTs are a mess. That’s a barrier!!

@MikePMoffatt @ruffoloj I’m not sure how narrowly you’re defining barriers. They are non-distance transaction costs on account of an internal frontier. Some examples one might not consider: ontario.ca/laws/statute/2… theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

I think the biggest boost to productivity from eliminating interprovincial trade barriers will come from all the time we save from no longer talking about interprovincial trade barriers.

No BoC rate hikes in 2026: general consensus from panel of Big 6 bank Chief Economists @economicclubca annual outlook today.

@erinotoole @colindeacon Thank you for your long-standing leadership & insights on this file @erinotoole .

@evansammccann You are right to flag the significance of Canadian business history. I’m president of the Canadian Business History Association, a small but mighty group trying to tackle the problem you identify. Would you be willing to connect?

Do Canadian builders really know the stories of Brookfield, Jim Pattison, Nortel, ATI, Workbrain, Xtreme Labs, oil and gas, lululemon, Aritzia, Magna (way more examples I am missing)? Is the Shopify story even wildly known and understood?

Was on @CBCNews yesterday to digest Nov 19th's pan-Canadian internal trade minister's meeting in Yellowknife, as well as Canada's newest internal trade agreement: the Canadian Mutual Recognition Agreement for goods. Link in comments for my analysis.

Great piece by @ForsterSam on what is at stake re internal trade ahead of tomorrow’s supremely important pan-Canadian internal trade summit in Yellowknife, NWT canadianaffairs.news/2025/11/18/tra…

Remarkable survey results from this week’s @the_logic summit. Pairs well w/ historical context from @jdmstewart1’s new book (e.g Laurier & AK/BC border dispute, 1903 - “We are living beside a great neighbour who…are determined…to get the best in any agreement which they make”)

@VassB Soon !! 🤞

@RyanManucha When are we going to get to be back on a panel together?!

Powerhouse panel with @VassB , @lucyhargreaves4 @RanaSarkar_ moderated by @CappyMc today at The Logic’s annual summit in TO. Ranging discussion underpinned by: achieving greater economic sovereignty.

Even as Trump's tariffs bite, homegrown competition barriers are still pushing prices up nationalpost.com/news/canada/ma…

A timely bill to help continue the momentum on internal trade reform and fostering competitive & open markets domestically.

Inspiring energy at the @build_toronto launch event. Thought-provoking remarks by @mimurchison re: Toronto’s “first impression” on visitors and enhancing those magical first moments. Congrats to @melkuo @lucyhargreaves4 @EricDLombardi & others on a great night.

Congrats to @somardrawoh @askessler @benoitdos Catherine Beaudry, @stephen_tapp Vinamra Mathur Report here: statcan.gc.ca/en/about/relev…

"In the Canadian system there is no legally recognized definition of official statistics in Canada nor clear and definitive authority of who produces them and oversees their quality and standards." >Woah. >Important and timely report. >Internal trade barriers come in many forms!

Ford this P.M. on ON’s next steps re internal trade: (1) Expanding “as of right” labour mobility and (2) Mutual Recognition activation w/ other provinces & territories Good priorities, now to follow through. Praised @VictorFedeli ‘s relentlessness.

News like this fires me up amidst all the gloom about Canada’s innovation and growth woes.
