Regulatory Barriers: Instead of traditional tariffs, Canada relies on a complex web of regulatory differences, licensing requirements, and varying product standards that make trading between provinces unnecessarily difficult (1:12 - 1:59).
Economic Impact: Reports suggest that removing these internal, non-geographic trade barriers could boost Canada's real GDP by approximately 6.8% and add up to $200 billion to the economy (2:24 - 3:02).
Labor Mobility: The video highlights the absurdity of regulatory barriers that prevent skilled workers, such as doctors or construction professionals, from easily working in other provinces (6:47 - 7:56). This acts as a social justice issue by limiting access to opportunities.
The Path Forward: The narrator notes recent progress, such as the Free Trade and Labor Mobility in Canada Act (2025) and various mutual recognition agreements, but emphasizes that there is still much to do to harmonize rules (5:07 - 6:46).
