🇨🇦 Canadian travellers face alcohol being confiscated at U.S. border after Trump's import ban

So this is what smart Ottawa statecraft looks like now: slap retaliatory tariffs on nearly $28 billion worth of U.S. imports, then act stunned when Americans answer with an import ban that hits ordinary Canadians at the border. Snowbirds are now being told not to pack Canadian beer, wine, cider, vodka, gin, rum, sake, certain whiskies, or even some whey products because U.S. officers may seize them, as reported.

Mark Carney says he does not believe in escalating the conflict, right after Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs of 15 to 50 per cent. That is the polished globalist routine in one sentence: provoke, posture, then pretend you are the adult in the room while citizens absorb the cost and uncertainty. No sovereignty, no leverage, no strategy beyond media lines about protecting workers and communities. The result is predictable. Canadians get fewer freedoms, more hassle, and another reminder that elite trade theatrics always land on the public first.
