I gather that these kinds of barriers have likely been up for a very long time, long before I was old enough to really understand them.

So here I am at 48 years old trying to wrap my brain around why there were internal trade barriers in the first place. What reasons were given when they were first put up?

Please explain it as you would a child...

makes some good points about how some barriers prevent a race to the bottom and allow provinces to take actions protecting their workers and industry
