Marni Soupcoff: While the politicians celebrate their ‘free trade’ deal, the rest of us keep paying up


Yes, the woefully inadequate Agreement on Internal Trade, in place for over two decades, has at last been replaced. The good news: the new Canada Free Trade Agreement isn’t as useless as the old AIT. The majority of the CFTA is actually taken up with setting out explicit exemptions from free trade guarantees. The provinces were — once again — incapable of committing to any semblance of true internal free trade. The free trade to which we’re entitled will soon be tested in a proceeding of far more consequence.
