Manage episode 400941725 series 3460166
Today I talked to Ryan Manucha about his new book Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups: Canada's Quest for Interprovincial Free Trade (McGill-Queen's UP, 2022).
In 2012, after Gerard Comeau had driven to Quebec to purchase cheaper beer and crossed back into New Brunswick, police officers tailed and detained him, confiscated his haul, and levied a fine. With Comeau's story as his starting point, Ryan Manucha tells the fascinating tale of Canadian interprovincial trade. Interprovincial trade barriers and other frictions bring much-needed revenue into the coffers of provincial governments, which then can direct these funds toward various social services, but hinder the mobility of professionals, account for the different building codes imposed by Canadian provinces, and generally increase the price tag for Canadian consumers. In a candid interview, Ryan explains his interest in this topic, the backbone of his book's argument, and his efforts to make change workable.
