   Reciprocity in Canada!   
   09 Dec 14 20:55:06   
   
   Reciprocity is an important issue in Canada! Canada is supposed to be one   
   market; however, there are hundreds of rules and regulations which impede the   
   free flow of goods and services. Some say it is easier to send goods to the US   
   or Asia than into the    
   neighboring province. Recently the government of BC signed reciprocity   
   agreements with other provinces to allow BC wine to be sold there.   
      
   Reciprocity can even be found in the Charter of Rights, which is part of the   
   Canadian Constitution. A particular Section deals with freedom of mobility and   
   peaceful establishment. All provinces that signed the Constitution granted   
   freedom of mobility    
   reciprocity to each other.   
      
   One area of reciprocity that hasn't received much attention is students.   
   Students who decide to go to University in another province are vulnerable   
   because they are alone and isolated. Many students in Canada are persecuted or   
   bullied by local people,    
   who try to make them go back to where they came from. Let us hope that the   
   plight of students comes to the attention reciprocity activists!
