And they've been caught watering it down, including premium brands.

probably e. coli as well... as most of the us groceries have it

it's disappointing seeing conservatives complain about him being too liberal while he does a bunch of conservative shit and then they say he stole conservative ideas and complain about that, then go back to complaining about him being a liberal

I don't know if your faith in the Canadian consumer is warranted. There was just a radio piece I heard the other day on NPR about how Canadian tourism is already on the uptick in the United States. I think maybe the average Canadian doesn't have the wherewithal you would like them to.

I don't know about people not purchasing. It may be the part of Canada I'm in, but USAian products aren't sitting on the shelves for as long and a lot of people have lost the care to avoid them if they ever did. A great example was last summer when USAian watermelons were rotting in the bins at grocery stores while Mexican and Canadian ones were selling quickly. This year I'm seeing people pick them up without a care. It doesn't help USAian companies are purposely hiding the origins and maple washing their products.

Plus, the uptick in Canadians travelling south of the border for non-work purposes means full acceptance and support for the USAian administration by those choosing to go to there.

I'm keeping up my boycott and always will. Those that don't boycott when they can afford to or simply don't care can be the first dealt with as traitors when the time inevitably comes.

It's reaching the point where we're going to need to start boycotting Carney's corporate backers, too. I would love to know who actually ghost wrote bill C22.

As I wrote before, I think this is strategic maneuvering on the alcohol ban on his part. On paper he can make it look like we're acquiescing to their demand, while in practice it won't make a noticeable dent in their alcohol sales.

If putting booze back on shelves restores US sales, then it's Canada that is weak and pathetic.

JFC we quickly forget Trump had a huge number of supporters in Canada before 2024.

Even without the tariff I certainly won't buy it, hell they can even mark it 50% off.

Just price it absurdly, make a bottle of Jack Daniels $2,500 and if some dumbass buys it, the store gets a good payday and the bottling company successfully sells 1 bottle.

Doug Ford can't wait to get his special gold kneepads back on.

If he actually does it, then it will be there… Taking up space… I don’t think anyone is going to buy it.

This is exactly why it isn't tone deaf. He can just issue the ask, hope that not all premiers will follow, and even the provinces that do follow, consumption will still not recover fully; he can say "hey I did all I can, Canadians just don't wanna drink it" and the US loses a negotiation leverage.

I do think a significant amount of people will buy it, though. They US booze will come out cheap and in droves. And we have a dumber third of the country that's actually a fan of the US still

This is the way.

I'm a fan of this. Just have a little graveyard area where any US booze lives. Put it in a locked cabinet so anyone who has decided to buy it can be judged appropriately.

Whenever the cabinet is opened, it plays the US National anthem throughout the store (probably a modified version that sounds like it's been sung by a half dead cat to an out of tune piano, and in a different key to make it sound tragic). This way, everyone there can know that some one has willingly chosen to buy their crap and can look over at who they are so you can remember not to do that person any favors in the future.

Fuck everything about what the US is doing. Fuck them. Americans, I'll judge on a case by case basis, but America can get bent.
