    Canadian Trade Barriers – The Discussion We Need to Have
    Serenity Now For Entrepreneurs

Canadian Trade Barriers – The Discussion We Need to Have
“We’re creating little micro markets and it’s not serving us anymore.” – A frank conversation about Canada’s interprovincial trade barriers that could unlock billions in economic growth.
In the latest episode of Serenity Now for Entrepreneurs, hosts Candace and Peggy dive into a timely discussion about interprovincial trade barriers in Canada. While these barriers rarely make headlines, they’re costing our economy billions and limiting Canadian businesses’ potential scale.
Key insights from the conversation:
  • Canada’s provincial autonomy has created a patchwork of trade restrictions between provinces
  • Despite having a population similar to California, we’ve fragmented our domestic market
  • From professional services (like CPAs) to products (like wine), these barriers limit mobility and growth
  • Recent international trade tensions are forcing Canadians to look inward at our own economic structure
As the hosts note, they’re not experts but everyday entrepreneurs raising important questions: Should we protect businesses that might otherwise fail? Could removing interprovincial barriers help Canada become more self-reliant and innovative?
Listen to this thought-provoking episode that challenges us to reconsider how Canada’s internal trade policies impact entrepreneurs coast to coast. As Candace says, “Maybe it takes Canadians to think differently and to ask that question for these things to change.”
