Default Let's use all the surplus steel and aluminum will have in April....

....and revive the war time production on both Coast.... we will need to create jobs and build ice breakers for the North.......

What is even worst is that the only beer can top lid manufacturer is in the USA and probably using Quebec aluminum....... let's make our own tops....

From a consumer opinion, I'd accept the old ways of opening beer with a church key instead of the easy way, if it means much simpler construction. And, every kitchen drawer and toolbox gets a newly made Canadian stamped can opening. From a manufacturing perspective, a conventional solid top is a disc with a spun perimeter fold. The convenience top has many clever creases and impressions to create tearable weak sections. That engineering is more complex.
