Jake McEwan published this op-ed in today’s Toronto Star today. Inspired by a recently released Economist Intelligence Unit report his central point is that “while (canada) joined NAFTA and reduced some international barriers to trade, we have done little domestically to create an internal, national marketplace.”

It is indeed disturbing that in certain sectors it is easier to trade with the US then within Canada. Not to mention that it is a sad commentary on federal and provincial leadership.
