André Proulx is a Niagara-based wine producer, and he’s here to talk about the surprising challenges of doing business in Canada. The wine industry in Canada faces huge barriers when trying to ship products across provincial lines. The problem? The Provincial Liquor Boards. When his wine crosses into British Columbia, an 89% markup gets slapped on it, making it harder for Canadian wine to compete with foreign imports. Why does this happen, and what’s the real impact on the Canadian economy? André joins Stephen LeDrew to unpack the interprovincial trade issues that are hurting local businesses in Canada for Three Minutes.
