Thanks!
I think we have some Europeans on here as well, and since the Canada-US trade war can be a sensitive topic for some, it’s best for our mod team to lean on the larger side :)

Congrats on the baby!
I believe it has to be declared on the packing manifest, but it relies on the expeditor being truthful. That’s my understanding of it.
I don’t think it’s about the place of manufacture, but rather the place of origin. A lot of items are manufactured all over the place.
Indeed, but a lot of people use their cloud service, which is US-based and hosted. This is not OP’s case, however.
Any time an eligible item crosses the US / Canada border, a 25% tariff is applied. This is how the US does it, so this is what the Canadian government is copying.
This is terrible for auto manufacturing, where various parts cross the border multiple times between raw materials, loose parts, assembled parts and assembled vehicle. Every time those parts or materials cross either border, it gets tariffed 25%.
I believe if your item comes from the US, lands in another country, gets re-labeled and then enters Canada, it won’t be tariffed, but don’t quote me on that.

This “solution” is fucking stupid. Customers are getting sent a warning label.
News flash: Pets and toddlers can’t read.
Supporting Canada exclusively for winter beach vacations is not reasonable, a lot of people want to take a break from winter somewhere warm. This used to be Florida / California, let’s start going to Latin America and Europe instead.
We have to be careful with this mentality, isolationism is the exact kind of mentality we are accusing the US of. Let’s keep supporting friendly nations to show the US we have other friends to play with.
Yeah I vacationed in Playa Del Carmen, not Cancún itself.
Oh u-line is owned by an uber religious family who donates to conversion therapy and other anti-lgbtq causes. No news here. Fuck the uihlein.
Oh I think the dirt cheap, plentiful, delicious food is what I’ll miss the most in Mexico.
The people are also genuinely wonderful (at least in Cancún / Playa Del Carmen), I’ve heard the opposite for the Dominican Republic. Don’t know about Cuba.
Just went to Cancún, so many québécois! It’s a direct flight from YUL. Not that many Americans in some areas.
Or support Mexican tourism for warm destinations, the enemy of our enemy is our friend.
I recommend you follow the “Simple Sabotage Field Manual” the CIA put out many moons ago. :)
