Windsor Star editorial champions Citizen of One, July 26, 2010.
In a video released today by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, co-author Robert Knox provides an in-depth look into MLI’s latest study, Citizen of One, Citizen of the Whole. In conversation with colleague John Robson, Bob tells us what an Economic Charter of Rights could mean for all Canadians. He reminds us how our “sense of being Canadian” is diminished by all the petty barriers that inhibit personal mobility and economic freedom today. With his background in negotiating on internal trade issues and his expert knowledge of the impact these restrictions have on the jobs and lifestyle of Canadians, Bob insists that the time to act is now. Watch the video (in two parts) below… July 12, 2010.

MLI authors Brian Lee Crowley, Robert Knox and John Robson continue to make waves with their call for an Economic Charter of Rights for Canadians. The Windsor Star is the latest Canadian newspaper to agree with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute’s call for federal action on domestic trade barriers. In an editorial today, they comment on MLI’s recently-released Citizen of One, Citizen of the Whole study:
So far, only three provinces -- Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan -- have moved to sign agreements to encourage more trade, investment and mobility.
As a result, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute -- a non-partisan think-tank -- is calling on Ottawa to use its constitutional authority to get rid of the barriers through an Economic Charter of Rights and then set up a commission that would deal with non-compliance.
…
As the Macdonald-Laurier Institute points out, Ottawa has the moral authority and power to get rid of interprovincial trade barriers. What it really needs is the courage to dismantle them.
On his blog Filibuster… J.J. McCullough writes: "As a book on the fiscal state of the continent, and the challenges that await in the new decade, it may prove enormously prescient." 14 July 2010.
