Think you can still bring a bottle of your favourite Niagara red or Ontario-made whisky to your grandparents’ place in Florida?
Think again, according to trade lawyers and the Canadian Snowbird Association, who say there appears to be no personal exemption when it comes to Donald Trump’s import ban on a wide array of Canadian alcohol products.
That means you can no longer bring even a single bottle of Canadian-made beer, wine or spirits into the U.S. — whether you’re willing to pay duty on it or not, said international trade lawyer Barry Appleton.
“A ban is an absolute prohibition. A tariff is a price a person can pay, and a personal allowance can forgive a duty. Neither can make a prohibited good admissible,” said Appleton, co-director of the Center for International Law at New York Law School, and a fellow at the University of Waterloo’s Balsillie School of International Affairs.
Haha, well, the worst Canadian is the best American. Soooo 🙃
If that were the case, the fascism wouldn’t be as successful here as it is. Or did you forget that the people here were a month away from electing PP until Trump swung the election for anyone critical of him specifically?
Fascism is everywhere. One of them has an election a month away, and that’s a pivotal date for all of us.
Oh, so if it’s “everywhere,” that doesn’t indicate a fundamental sickness in Canadian culture if the people here didn’t view genocide rhetoric as a deal-breaker, they’re just doing what everyone else is doing. It’s worth noting that the admin that did win (and is wildly popular compared to previous admins) has also been eroding indigenous sovereignty rights, openly supported the invasion of Iran, and lifted environmental and agricultural industrial restrictions.
What exactly is your issue with Americans, then?
You don’t know? Gosh. You must live under a rock. Have a lovely day.
I guess I see more from under this rock than you do in Australia. Don’t run then condemn those who can’t, it’s shitty.
I’m actually on your street.
Cool, look for the rad metamorphic boulder with the sandy bands. Me and the other mole-people will show you what’s for.
So how do you feel about Americans immigrating into Canada?
