I did not know and did not expect there would be trade barriers between Canadian provinces

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

Really hope more provinces open up trade. Getting more and cheaper Canadian wine would be so great
