Booze, Cigarettes & Constitutional Dust-Ups: Canada’s Quest for Interprovincial Free Trade

Canada’s interprovincial trade barriers tell an engrossing story of our country’s struggle to pursue an enduring singleness, despite a staggering diversity in climate, topography, demography and economics. The tale of our economic union is woven into the nation’s industrial outputs - from turkeys and potash, to margarine and duvets, and of course, booze. Join Ryan Manucha as he traces the story of interprovincial trade to the present day, unearthing the intergenerational battles that pit national and local ambitions against one another, as well as the sacrifices and trade-offs that Canadians would have to make in order to liberalize internal trade.
