    Just how much was the tariff?

    Can’t wait for Canadian water to open this year on St Clair I just imagine them Canucks giving us the business when we come to catch their fish

    I bought flooring from my SIL's company to install at our cabin on Georgian Bay. I need to call the Canadian Border Agency at Fort Erie to see if the tariffs that Canada is imposing will apply to this flooring or if the tariff only applies to the importation for commercial purposes. If the tariff will apply to me, then I'll wait to take it up until the tariff situation is resolved.

    Lots of night crawlers come out of Canada, they’re pretty much in every bait shop around here in the summer.

    Yes I know, but you wouldn’t know there was a tariff, only a price increase on a low cost item. Doubt a bait shop is going to add a tariff charge unless owner just loves to talk politics.

    It’s not really a tariff. It’s a deposit. Return them when you are done and get your refund.

    everyone knows the red blooded American worms that challenge fish to fights rather than giving up like French worms are better

    I'm just 20 minutes from Swanton and the last couple rains I had nightcrawlers crawling everywhere on the sidewalks and driveway. Robins have been getting their fill. Plenty of worms to be had.

    First thunderstorm of the year here, after the ground has un thawed I pick about 20-30 dozen for the summer and fill up a extra fridge in the basement.

    Our worms are 25% bigger.

    We only allow furriners to catch fish that are 25% smaller than those we catch.


    BTW... read the news. Tarrifs aren't happening until April 2nd. So, nice try.
