    Doesn’t surprise me because I saw a news segment talking about the aluminum industry when the tarrifs hit and they mentioned that we had big gaps in the material to product processes.

    Apparently, the way we got beer cans went something like this.

    • We get the aluminum and process it
    • We make big tubes
    • We sell the tubes to companies over the border
    • THEY make beer cans
    • We buy the beer cans

    Apparently the reason was that no one was offering the service in Quebec as of yet but I’m sure that’s in the process of changing.
