I can confirm Points Roberts is really losing out from this trade war. It’s a little tiny piece of the USA easy to get to from Vancouver but hard from mainland USA since you either have to take a boat or go through 2 international border controls.

Point Roberts gets the water electricity and telephone from our lines, throws their trash in our landfills, gets most of their business from Canada, and have a bunch of shipping/forwarding services because the rates are often cheaper to a US address.

Many Americans are great and I like them, but we’re boycotting because starting from the Republican regime and its supporters, a lot of people there have gotten too casual about how much they think they don’t need us so we’re reminding them at large of our value.

I’m glad this Bloomberg article finally lists the many reasons that factor into this because for a few months the only reasons given were the tariffs and bad exchange rate. On its own, those haven’t stopped Canadians crossing to the US to this level in the past.
