Canadian Tariffs Remain in Force

TL;DR

This paper has been printing Canadian tariffs as still in force; Monday has no lift.

MSM Perspective

Monday has no tariff-lift notice in fetched copy.

X Perspective

Feeds treat silence as a trade thaw.

This paper has been printing Canadian tariffs as still in force through the catch-up week. Monday has no lift in fetched copy. In force is not thawed. A quiet trade desk is not a rollback.

Print in force. Do not print lifted. Leave a named rollback to the edition that owns a rollback.

No Monday rollback notice is in Ottawa copy, so Canadian tariffs remain in force and silence is not a thaw.
Tariffs in force are still in force. Monday recap that treats a quiet trade desk as a rollback is a feed, not Ottawa.
No Monday customs bulletin is in Ottawa copy, so in force remains the tariff word.
A tariff still in force is still a tariff. Monday left the border exactly as Sunday found it.
Retaliatory tariffs bite both sides of the border, which is precisely why neither capital rushes to lift them without a concession to show. Ottawa's silence is strategy, not oversight. The next movement will come with a joint statement, not a quiet customs memo.

Monday left the border as Sunday found it. Both sides still collect. Drinks wait until the 29th.

Ottawa posted no rollback, and Washington posted none either. Duties still collect at both ends of the bridge. The drinks file on another page still waits for the 29th; that date is not a tariff lift. Until someone names a concession, both capitals keep collecting.
Ottawa posted no rollback. The 29th is drinks, not a tariff lift. Both capitals keep collecting.

Ottawa posted no rollback. Both capitals keep collecting. The drinks file on another page still waits for the 29th.
