      Black market just makes it even harder to figure out where your money’s going.

      Are the people smuggling liquor across the border only smuggling liquor, or are they involved in other crimes that you’re supporting from buying from them?

      When is the liquor being diverted from legitimate channels into the black market? Has it already crossed the border and the tariffs been paid? Kind of defeats the purpose then, doesn’t it? Is it happening before it crosses the border and possibly fucking over the Canadians you’re trying to support?

      Unless you’re traveling to Canada and buying it legitimately to smuggle back you’re probably not accomplishing what you hope to.

      Or I suppose you could start moonshining.
