  1. They already have the least amount of obstacles for interprovincial trade. Are the other provinces ever going to catch up? Or even try for that matter?

    Lotta people going to be upset with Alberta being the province that’s paving the way forward.

  3. I thought we’d seen a few articles since last summer about how Alberta was the province with the least obstacles to interprovincial trade, but what really stood out to me here was that they weren’t dropping the requirement that gift cards cannot expire. Why the hell are some provinces authorizing sale of gift cards with an expiry date? I’m not a big fan of gift cards for many reasons but those should not be permitted to expire, unless someone has a compelling reason for why they should

  4. Don’t agree with most of UCP policies, but this is forward thinking. Good job AB government!

    Yeah wasn’t that Carney’s idea?

    Prime Minister Mark Carney’s 2025 policy focuses on creating a unified Canadian economic union by dismantling internal trade barriers to boost GDP by $250 billion, partly to counter U.S. tariffs. Key actions include passing the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act (Bill C-5) to eliminate federal barriers, enhancing labor mobility, and enforcing mutual recognition of professional certifications and product standards across provinces.
