Not at all denying the cross border damage of the current tariff war. But it should be noted that unlike the absolute complete lockdown of the border for 19 straight months, the current status at the border is that it is fully open as usual. The current economic hardship of Pt. Roberts businesses is a direct result of Canadians deciding not to spend dollars down there for personal , mostly emotionally driven reasons, and by economic realities of our faltering Cdn dollars value, which is down 9% from Covid times.
I certainly understand these reasons, and we all make decisions for various reasons. For the last 40+ years I have made the personal decision to not visit as a tourist, communist, or Islamic countries, for the lack of freedom, and oppression those systems place on their citizens. A decision many have called insane, which I’m ok with.

Zero business in Point Roberts since Trump took power. The headline is “completely destroyed by Tariff war”. No parcel business, no gas sales, no convenience store sales. If this goes on much longer, there will not be a single business left in Point Roberts.

Sad, I dealt with Beth and her staff for about ten years. Good people there, I feel bad for them.

James’ stately Moto Guzzi, I’m guessing an Ambassador, with brand new mufflers from another large brand, forget which one, but the engine sounds fabulous!!

Ross,
The last ones I cut for you were done on a lathe. Stainless wasn't a problem and the lathe has pucks that ride on the disc to stop any chatter.
