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).
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.
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.
Ontario and Quebec next pls. Quebec’s craft gluten free beer market is so much better and it’s a pain to cross over the border
But is it $1?

Really hope more provinces open up trade. Getting more and cheaper Canadian wine would be so great
Im gonna be honest, I thought that was Japan
Nova Scotia is the Japan of North America 🥴
All of the rural racism and none of the transit infrastructure or cherry blossoms. Let’s do this!
Scotia
Thanks for that catch! I fixed the title.
~~edit: right text but in the wrong place~~
Big news, perhaps the biggest news of the year so far
Nova Scotia lobster emoji sure looks like a ding dong
