It's what Trump needs from Canada, as we Canucks are finding out. What that will be in the end is anybody's guess. Meanwhile, I only have one steamer from BLI on order, probably due next February if BLI doesn't get wiped out and closes its doors.

I'll be interested to see what happens to Rapido prices for products sold to Canadians. They're based in Markham, Ont, Canada.
