Strongly agree

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

This aligns with common Conservative messaging that interprovincial barriers are economically irrational and that Canada should function more like a true internal free-trade zone.

Agree

Yes

Conservatives generally support reducing interprovincial trade barriers and promoting a single Canadian market, but are often cautious about heavy-handed federal overrides of provincial jurisdiction.

Agree

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

A cooperative-federalism approach (incentives, agreements, mutual recognition) fits Conservative preferences to reduce barriers while avoiding direct federal coercion; similar logic underpins interprovincial trade agreement efforts (e.g., CFTA era) rather than unilateral override.

Agree

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

The party often emphasizes provincial jurisdiction and criticizes federal overreach, which supports this sentiment, but it conflicts with their desire to remove internal trade barriers—so only mild agreement.

Slightly agree

Yes, the Constitution explicitly guarantees free trade between all provinces

Conservatives may like the free-trade framing, but the claim that the Constitution 'explicitly guarantees' broad free trade is legally contested (e.g., Supreme Court’s R v Comeau (2018) interpreted s.121 narrowly), so they’d be less likely to endorse this absolutist rationale.

Slightly disagree

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

Conservatives accept legitimate health/safety regulation, but this answer is typically used to justify maintaining barriers; the party more often argues for mutual recognition/harmonization rather than deference that blocks trade.

Disagree

No

The party has typically criticized internal trade barriers and supported freer movement of goods; a flat 'No' conflicts with that pro-market stance.

Strongly disagree

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

Conservatives are generally less protectionist domestically and more likely to oppose using provincial barriers to shield local industries, favoring competition and lower prices.
