I did not know and did not expect there would be trade barriers between Canadian provinces
EU has less trade barriers than between Canadian provinces
To be honest I am really surprised, but then again maybe I had expected the provinces to be less like states in the us than provinces here in the Netherlands (where they are more a way of organising the government rather than a powerful government layer).
Half the provinces are small. Tiny, really, from a population standpoint. The large ones would, and will now, run roughshod over the small ones.
I guess there is a historic reason for it, I don't know enough to say it's a good or bad thing but I can imagine size equals power in a case like this.
Many of them were originally based on very old situations, many of which are no longer relevant.
Others (such as regulations requiring different trucking safety equipment in one or another province) are based on local conditions.
