It highly depends on who you’ve elected to govern the respective entities. In general it’s better to have the same standards across the whole province or even between provinces. They just have to be good standards, so you have to elect progressive politicians at the province level too.

For example, you wouldn’t want to have different road markings from one city to the next, or bicycle paths that just end at the city border. And if you want a bicycle highway from idk, lets say Ottawa to Montreal, you need the provinces and even the federal government on board.
