It’s mostly each province having different regulations, standards, definitions, or licensing bodies around things that are provincially governed.
Most of it is businesses not being willing to jump through thr hoops in all provinces, or those hoops making the end product overly expensive if sold in a national format.
Yeah kinda. I don’t think it’s required to have bilingual labeling in all provinces in Canada but Doritos are “Zesty Mordant” across the country because it’s too much of a pain in the ass to have different labeling in different provinces.
But there are many things that are traditionally produced and used locally where that’s not the case. Every province has different building codes and building materials made in one province may not be up to code in another province.
Agriculture has similar issues.
A lot of it is just it doesn’t have the required label from a particular provincial official that prevents something from being sold in a province it wasn’t made it. Just stupid red tape stuff.

Don’t they have a “California effect” on Canada? Where everyone just comply with the highest standard just to be able to sell everywhere

If we’re going to change our building codes we should mandate that lumber be cut in metric.
