Think you can still bring a bottle of your favourite Niagara red or Ontario-made whisky to your grandparents’ place in Florida?

Think again, according to trade lawyers and the Canadian Snowbird Association, who say there appears to be no personal exemption when it comes to Donald Trump’s import ban on a wide array of Canadian alcohol products.

That means you can no longer bring even a single bottle of Canadian-made beer, wine or spirits into the U.S. — whether you’re willing to pay duty on it or not, said international trade lawyer Barry Appleton.

“A ban is an absolute prohibition. A tariff is a price a person can pay, and a personal allowance can forgive a duty. Neither can make a prohibited good admissible,” said Appleton, co-director of the Center for International Law at New York Law School, and a fellow at the University of Waterloo’s Balsillie School of International Affairs.

    This person didn't know how to criticize someone they disagree with besides saying they're conservative, the rest of the thread should make it obvious that I'm not. They made a comment about US immigration into Canada fully expecting it to be some sort of gotcha, but when I said that I'm fine with immigration and more fine with immigrants than conservatives born here, they didn't know how else to respond.

    No idea why these comments were removed or why they were banned, so they must have done something in another thread.
