Canadian tariffs and trip food

[Mason]

"In response to tariffs the U.S. has placed on Canadian products, Canada has imposed a 25% tariff on a variety of U.S. goods, including food Americans intend to eat."
"Now, in response to tariffs the U.S. has placed on a long list of Canadian products, Canada has imposed a 25% tariff, or surtax, on a variety of U.S. goods, including food brought north by Americans who intend to eat the food while in Canada, according to resort owners and others who have discussed the issue with Canadian border officials."

Canadian tariffs for food

This will have a big $$ impact on my 2 week trip to NW Ontario this year.

I have questions. For those of us who like to keep the weight down, what is the availability of non-imported freeze dried meals like in Canada? And if the meals are imported commercially from the US, aren't they already tariffed? So the cost is the same either way? Or tariffs don't work like the news claims?

I have a running stockpile of freeze dried meals. Guess I need to start saving receipts.

Ehhhhhh....

Article:
"according to resort owners and others who have discussed the issue with Canadian border officials."

The actual order appears to continue to exempt foodstuffs brought for personal use. The usual limits on alcohol and tobacco still apply.

I am not a lawyer and I did not stay in a Holiday Inn express last night.

Just buy some of that good looking, Thunder Bay, double smoked bacon that Mem’s school kids fry up. I can almost smell it cooking when I view his pictures. Save the grease for frying fish. What more do you need to eat. Flour, baking powder, salt, sugar & lard for bannock.

Locked. I can't be bothered wasting my and Alan's time with any more partial and full post deletions of political comments about tariffs.
