Ontario, Quebec, and other provinces should petition Ottawa to revise the Constitution to give each province control over interjurisdictional trade. That way, any province that wants protectionism would be welcome to it, any province that wants unilateral global free trade could do that, and any provicne could negotiate the inter-provincial and international trade agreements that it thinks would benefit it.
This way, any province that wants out of diry and cultural and other protectonism could finally bow out and trade with the world. If another province wants to raise tariffs against it, so be it. It could always trade with the other provinces, the US, and the rest of the world instead. Let the protectonists protect and the traders trade.
On that note, transfer control over packaging and labelling, phytosanitary, banking, and other economic matters to the provinces too.
