For years, us, Canadians went to USA for shopping. Next year with the exchange rate at the highest for US$, and Canada without tariff, a shit load of americans will come to Canada to buy their electronics and stuff.

They’ll still have to pay the tariff when crossing the border back to the USA, unless they want to risk smuggling it.

I .Ean that’s how it was for Canadians, it’s not like we had an actual work around there either. People just don’t bother to declare stuff when crossing.

A Canadian I used to know told me their family would have some cheaper items in the back seat that they’d declare and hide the more expensive stuff. Apparently it did work.

So our 19 year olds who need abortions, what stops them from going their getting care and then having a drink a smoke and coming home after. Except the prospect of not wanting to come back?
