Thanks Joe.

From what I have been told the 25% tariff on short term food supplies has been dropped

Not sure exactly what short term means whether its a week, a month or season

Might be all over by the time opener gets here
 

I might be in the minority but I hope they hit you guys with every tariff they can!
Your dollar buys you 30% more on this side of the border. Why wouldn't you shop here?

Well...things are also about 30% plus higher price up there vs. US. $50 for a case of beer? Cmon. We only bring in canned goods (not brew  ) of brands we prefer that are not typically found at stores up there. All of our perishables are bought in Ontario or Quebec. And really...what's all the fretting about? Big whoop...you have to pay a "tax" of 25% on maybe $200 of food. That's penny-pinching if you ask me. It's vacation...you can splurge a little.

Hey Glenn. That was this afternoon.

I did a search on the CSBA website -
https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/tariffs-tarifs/index-eng.html
and I see that we'll pay a 25% tax on food we bring in to Canada. We typically buy about $500 worth of groceries in the US to pack and take up to camp, along with $200-$300 worth of meals prepared and frozen for cooking at camp.

We'll bring our grocery receipts and be prepared to pay an additional 25% at the border. What about prepared foods - save receipts for ingredients that go into those and pat tax as well?

I'm sure this will change the proportions of groceries bought in the US vs. those we buy at the IGA in Temiscaming.

I might be in the minority but I hope they hit you guys with every tariff they can!

My April 25 prediction is looking good

Lookin a bit better today.

Thanks Joe. Looks like our floating dock might be popping through the ice soon.
