Canada isn’t under the jurisdiction of American law.

I think you may be on to something. That may be a better way to describe it.

If you consider taxing the rich. Unions and attacking companies as far right then sure. He’s always been far right. It sounds like you’ve never read about Vance and that’s why you don’t see the radical change from who he was to supporting Trump.

Vance actually had really good ideas until he went Trump. A mixture of far left and middle right politics. Now you never hear his working class ideas.

It’s hard to imagine this is the guy who said declare war on corporations

His mentor says hillbilly elegy was written to propel him into politics. So I find it hard to believe he wasn’t interested when that was the reason for the book

Not sure who those people are but they don’t seem well versed on the topic.

Well they should pick up a dictionary and learn what the word means.

Write off means write off the books. Otherwise it makes no sense as that the dictionary term for the phrase. You can’t write off a fine. It isn’t “written off”.

Real the whole paragraph. It’s idiotic talk

On a handful of products? Doubtful.

At least the government gave them a fine which is a step in the right direction. Country of origin is important to me. I buy based on those labels
