Me: I have a valid TWP, so will continue to use that until the issue is resolved.
USI: A TWP doesn't guarantee you a right to re-entry, the US won't take the risk that Canada will refuse to permit you back into the country.
Me: I hold a UK passport, there's no risk you'll get stuck with me in the US. I also own an ongoing business in BC to attend to.
USI: We're not taking the risk, so will refuse you entry to the US. Step this way for processing.
Me: Will I have to declare the refusal each time I try to visit the US?
USI: Yes you will. It's a legal obligation.

You want to be asking this question in the US immigration forums, stating what exactly it was they noted into your passport because any one can help you.

Do you mean actually physically written in the passport Bob ?

yes.

If you were bounced officially, there would be an annotation of what it was for, a string of letters and numbers.

Folks in the US immigration side of this forum will probably be able to help you out more than a bunch of folks here just speculating on what might happen without knowing any of the real facts.

When we landed earlier this year, we flagpoled at the Blaine border crossing, and of course, like everyone else, we were refused entry to the US.
