Can someone explain to a non-Canadian what is restricted with “free trade” right now. I am applying my own biases with interstate commerce in the US and coming up blank.

Some things like alcohol are technically taxed when crossing provincial lines, but trays not well enforced. Alcohol regulations are different, many provinces only allow sales through a provincial liquor board.

Lots of other things are restricted because standards in one province are incompatible with others.

I think some professional organizations have different educational requirements.
