Canada

My dudes and ladies. Please don’t drink our booze. It’s loaded with oligarchy and fascism.

Seriously though, I hope everyone in Canada never buys a drop no matter how cheap.

OK Carney; I’ll look around my house and if I find any US alcohol, I’ll return it to the store.

Sounds like the deal includes dropping the alcohol boycott, and building the keystone xl, a massive crude oil pipeline that gives Canada basically nothing given that the refining and final sale are done by US companies.

Nah. Not only will I not buy US booze, I'm going to continue to not buy US anything that I can help. I've put more money into Canadians' pockets in the last few years than maybe my whole life and I'm feeling pretty damn good about it.

I'm not even Canadian but fuck this guy

Disappointed, but not surprised. I'm going to have to just double down on boycotting more.

We really need to make it easier to buy Canadian booze from other parts of Canada. I've been picking up a different bottle of whiskey every time I go, but there's always a piss poor selection from anywhere other than my province. I also don't drink too much, so a bottle lasts quite a while, but still.

Carney is weak AF.

sure, recall the ban. let the market decide.

hopefully Canadians will continue not buying american stuff, and there won't be a business case to stock it

I see it as an easy win for Canada because this started as a grassroots movement by the people. The provincial government removal from the shelves came afterwards, in support. Put the booze back, who cares. Most people still won't purchase that fascist crap.

If it's forced on the provincial liquor boards they should only accept us booze on consignment,

Yep it will be on the shelves but I suspect it'll be there for a long long time not selling

Fuck that, I don't miss any of their crap

There it is, elbows down.

Expect a parade of Premiers lifting bans next week.

Restoring US alcohol to shelves is a bit premature considering we still have a potential 50% tariff over our heads.

Neat. We'll know where NOT to shop, because they caved.

BCLiquor, NSLC, LCBO, SAQ can buy one case of American liquor each, and put one bottle in a cute little locked display case at each store.

The Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said the request came directly from the negotiations and was conditional on a final deal, which is a defensible way forward

Seems tonedeaf.

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

Sure, a few might, but he's going to force retailers to stock it and it's just not going to move. He's going to make them into involuntary warehouses for crap nobody wants.

1. US booze has never been remarkable in the first place
2. I don't feel like doing the US or the corporations therein, any favors.

Can we get a different liberal leader to be PM? Is it too late to do that? I don't hate Carney, but his decisions have made me wonder about his fitness to lead.

Does he want Conservatives to wins?

So the booze bans, if I remember right, came in as part of the response to the US imposing tariffs, tariffs they justified with a flimsy excuse of 'fentanyl!'. The US didn't like that we responded to their clearly abusive/disrespectful tariffs, by applying more tariffs. Now Carney is negotiating to lower those tariffs in part by ending what little resistance/push-back Canada had shown.

Carney's disappointing.

Still better than PP.

Honestly as long as we don't give in to the stupid military procurement crap(F35s, E7 Wedgetail, & Golden Dome) that was being floated I'm ok with the alcohol back on the shelves(alcohol is a dumb consumer good we can easily replace. Military hardware and contracts not so much). it costs us very little and can be re-implemented fast if that idiot plays dumb games. Let him strut around like some dumb peacock that got a big win while i refuse to buy it. If we can ship the oil south to keep Alberta placated with a bunch of new pipelines to busy themselves with that O&G Execs realize only get completed if the referendum fails, the referendum will get crushed and we can go back to focusing on electrification/EV's/Transit for Canada as a whole and replacing our dumbass premier's that have gotten cover from "Donny Dumbass". Hopefully with everything else going so shittily for the him, he'll be too distracted till after midterms that we can negotiate the rest of this horseshit away during CUSMA re-negotiations.

Really, incredibly sick of the federal government not even managing to have as much backbone as I, some random citizen.

Sure restock it all in one particular location in the store with “🇺🇸💩🗑️🍺🍷🍸” signs and everyone should stop and stare with derision if anyone bothers to try to even browse this section much less buy from it.
