Uniform Price System Advocated for Canada
J D McKenna of St John NB urged a uniform price system to spread tariff benefits and equalize production costs across Canada. He argued Ontario and Quebec produced 85 percent of goods, leaving others paying their taxes plus theirs, and proposed freight absorption to set equal prices in Halifax Regina and Vancouver Toronto Montreal. The idea echoes Western Saskatchewan scholars seeking a Western Policy to rebalance costs and benefits in the price structure.
