5/16 The evidence speaks volumes: Only six disputes have emerged under the CFTA since 2017.

Its predecessor saw just 11 complaints over two decades.

Few real barriers exist when businesses aren't bothering to challenge alleged restrictions.

Interprovincial trade “solutions” would restrict public oversight of the market - CCPA Inflated claims about major benefits of enhancing the Canada Free Trade Act (CFTA) as part of Canada’s frenzied interprovincial trade barrier campaign have an ulterior purpose: they are designed to sh...

The push to expand CFTA is less about interprovincial trade & more about curbing government’s role in regulation, public services & labour rights. It prioritizes markets, undermines protections, and fuels the neoliberal agenda. #CFTA #NSpoli www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

13/17 🇨🇦🇺🇸 The Canadian Free Trade Agreement aimed to address this, but progress is slow. Goff points out the power of provincial governments. But now, there's a new incentive: economic resilience. #CFTA #Provinces #EconomicResilience

Don't Believe the Hype: There Is No Way Free Trade Within Canada Will Net $200-Billion All the claims about the benefits of complete free trade in Canada are based on a single analysis based on assumptions with no basis in fact.

The claims that Canada can get $200-billion in growth from internal free trade are all based in one analysis that has no actual evidence to back it up.

From the paper: “explicit tariffs do not exist” which means they are invented based on theory.
