Strongly agree

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

This fits the NDP’s preference for cooperative federalism—using federal spending power/agreements to encourage harmonization rather than coercive override (a common approach in Canadian intergovernmental policy).

Agree

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

The NDP prioritizes public health and regulatory standards and often defends provincial capacity to regulate (including alcohol distribution/health rules), even while supporting some barrier reduction.

Agree

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

The NDP often argues against federal overreach into provincial jurisdiction, but it also supports federal action in areas like national standards; so it would only moderately agree with this blanket claim.

Agree

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

The NDP is more sympathetic than other federal parties to protecting local jobs/industries, though it would not usually justify broad protectionism solely to avoid ‘slightly cheaper goods.’

Slightly agree

Yes

The NDP generally supports reducing interprovincial barriers when it benefits consumers/workers, but is cautious about Ottawa overriding provinces; it tends to prefer cooperative federalism over unilateral pre-emption.

Slightly agree

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

The NDP can agree that internal barriers are inefficient, but the framing pushes toward aggressive federal override, which the party is typically wary of compared with negotiated solutions.

Slightly disagree

No

A flat “no” conflicts with the NDP’s occasional support for harmonizing rules and easing internal trade, though it aligns somewhat with its respect for provincial jurisdiction.

Disagree

Yes, the Constitution explicitly guarantees free trade between all provinces

The NDP would not strongly endorse a constitutional absolutist claim; Canadian jurisprudence (e.g., the Supreme Court’s 2018 Comeau decision interpreting s.121) rejected an expansive ‘free trade’ reading.
