Canada might see significant movement on licensing restrictions soon. There's a big movement to reduce inter provincial trade barriers in the face of potential American tariffs. It's a good political sound bite: replace American trade with Canadian trade. But in physical goods almost all of the barriers have already been demolished. Liquor is the maon exception. But the service industry is now bigger than the physical goods industry and there are lots of barriers in it, licensing being perhaps the biggest. Licensing is a provincial responsibility. Hopefully the rare unity the country has experienced since Trump's inauguration can be harnessed to unify and rationalize licensing country wide.
