Ottawa has reached a deal with the majority of provinces to allow Canadian booze to flow more freely across the country just as U.S. liquor is pulled from their store shelves. The move is part of a host of changes being worked on by the federal, provincial and territorial governments that were announced late Wednesday to add $200 billion to the Canadian economy while it's rocked by U.S. tariffs. All provinces, except P.E.I. and Newfoundland and Labrador, have agreed to remove the obstacles preventing their alcohol from being sold in other jurisdictions. Do you agree with this decision?

The provincial governments are expected to seal the agreement in a framework within weeks, which Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand said will lead to more Canadian alcohol sales soon after that. "Buying B.C. wine in Ottawa is going to become a reality, because we are going to see trade barriers come down in Canada," she said. Prior to this decision, were you ever frustrated that you couldn't easily buy alcohol from other provinces?
