Very strongly agree

Yes, it is ridiculous that it is easier to trade with Europe than a neighboring province

This matches a common PPC-style argument: internal barriers are economically irrational and Canadians should be able to trade more easily between provinces than internationally; it aligns with their anti-red-tape, pro-market messaging.

Strongly agree

Yes

The People’s Party of Canada (PPC) is strongly pro–free market and has campaigned against interprovincial trade barriers (e.g., alcohol restrictions), so it would generally support federal action to ensure freer internal trade.

Agree

Yes, the Constitution explicitly guarantees free trade between all provinces

The PPC would like the pro–free trade conclusion, but the claim that the Constitution ‘explicitly guarantees’ free trade is legally contested (e.g., Supreme Court’s R v Comeau (2018) narrowed s.121), so they’d be less aligned with the absolutist constitutional framing.

Slightly agree

Yes, but use financial incentives rather than forcing provinces to comply

The PPC might accept incentives as a pragmatic tool, but it generally prefers removing barriers outright rather than ongoing federal spending/conditional transfers; so only mild agreement.

Slightly disagree

No, the federal government already interferes with provincial jurisdiction too much

The PPC is skeptical of federal overreach in many areas, but on internal free trade it tends to favor stronger action to eliminate barriers; so it would only weakly agree with this anti-interference framing.

Disagree

No, provinces must retain the right to regulate local health and safety standards

While the PPC accepts legitimate health/safety rules, it generally views many provincial restrictions (especially on alcohol) as protectionist/regulatory overreach rather than genuine safety measures, so it would not prioritize this rationale.

Strongly disagree

No

A flat “No” conflicts with the PPC’s stated goal of reducing internal trade barriers and promoting freer movement of goods across provinces.

Very strongly disagree

No, protecting local industries and jobs is more important than slightly cheaper goods

The PPC is not protectionist; it opposes using regulation to shield local industries and would reject prioritizing protection of local jobs over freer trade and lower prices.
