With the Trump Tariffs now in place, could this be an opportunity for Canadians to jump on the bandwagon and redesign Bridge in Canada?

Would your average Canadian Bridge Player prefer a local, affordable tournament, competing against Canadian experts and peers?
When I was serving in our local Unit, it was interesting to learn that the significant majority of Unit Members were non-Life Masters. International competition is not high in priority for these players.

Masterpoints. Bring your ACBL points with you or revamp a “points’ system. Other countries have better systems IMO.

Ease restrictions on the convention charts.

CBF, do you have any plans to bring Canadian Bridge governance back to Canada?

Trump's actions will have consequences. This one had not occurred to me, but it is just a fact that actions have unexpected consequences.

I have played bridge in Tronto and in Montreal, and I believe in Victoria on Vancouver Island, all a long time ago. I am more of a stay at home these days.

Good luck to you, I will watch for what happens.

Interesting idea!
