Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford signed a new memorandum of understanding to eliminate trade barriers between their provinces. Smith hailed it as a milestone for interprovincial commerce, while Ford broadened the effort by signing similar deals with several other premiers.
“Together, Alberta and Ontario are taking a big step toward a more open, competitive, and united economy,” said Smith. “This agreement is about getting results, making it easier for people to work, do business, and grow across provincial lines. It’s time to stop letting outdated rules hold us back and show Canadians what real economic leadership looks like.”
