Green Party

Strongly agree

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

This fits Green preferences for cooperative approaches—using federal spending power/conditional funding and intergovernmental agreements to harmonize rules and reduce barriers rather than coercive override.

Agree

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

Greens strongly value the precautionary principle and the ability to regulate for public health and safety; they would agree provinces should retain room for legitimate health/safety rules even while reducing protectionist barriers.

Agree

Yes

The Greens generally support reducing interprovincial trade barriers (including for alcohol) to improve efficiency and consumer choice, but they tend to prefer cooperative federalism over heavy-handed federal override of provincial jurisdiction.

Agree

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

They would sympathize with the critique that internal barriers are economically irrational and can be worse than international ones, but may not prioritize the rhetoric of ‘ridiculous’ over environmental/health regulatory considerations.

Slightly disagree

Yes, the Constitution explicitly guarantees free trade between all provinces

Greens would like fewer barriers, but this rationale overstates the constitutional point: Supreme Court of Canada jurisprudence (e.g., R v Comeau, 2018) rejected a broad ‘free trade’ reading of s.121, so Greens wouldn’t strongly endorse this framing.

Slightly disagree

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

While Greens sometimes defend provincial/municipal autonomy, they also support strong federal action in areas like climate and national standards; they wouldn’t broadly claim Ottawa already interferes ‘too much’ in a way that blocks internal trade reform.

Disagree

No

They are unlikely to flatly oppose freer internal trade; however, they often emphasize respecting provincial powers and using negotiated agreements rather than unilateral federal action.

Disagree

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

Greens are less likely to back protectionism for its own sake; they typically prefer fair, sustainable rules and just-transition supports rather than restricting internal trade to protect incumbents.
