I just read that in Canada provinces can put in place trade barriers with each other.

That surprised me.
"But the larger part of the problem is that the federal government is fairly weak anyway, and getting weaker by the year. The vaunted health care system that Americans talk about is run by the provinces, with some large differences. Provincial governments are free to set intra-provincial trade barriers - and do. The BC and Alberta governments have recently put in place a historic free-trade agreement, and are inviting other provincial governments to join."

I wonder if people could get around it by exporting an item to the US first and then re-importing under NAFTA.
