Summary
What if Alberta went its own way? A top transportation exec warns it wouldn’t be a shutdown, but a massive headache for businesses — think supply chain chaos without the consent of anyone involved. Jeff McCaig, chair of Trimac Transportation, explains how “practical friction” would hit trucking and aviation hardest: extra costs, duplicated rules, and uncertainty that could force companies to hoard inventory and delay investments. Aviation faces even bigger hurdles, needing new federal agreements and certification systems. He draws a stark parallel to Brexit — goods still moved, but bureaucracy and unpredictability drove up costs and pushed investment elsewhere. Separation might not stop trade, but it’ll make doing business far more complicated — and expensive. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
