American booze producers miffed
American producers of booze are mightily miffed that Canadians aren’t buying their products any more. In fact, they want to bully Canada into line, making us abandon protection for our own enterprises and favour American products again.
Why is it OK for them to blare “America first!” but try to block Canada from putting Canada first? Because for the U.S., “America first!” doesn’t mean just having Americans buy local – fair enough – but that the rest of the world has to put America first too.
Let’s hope we get the last laugh.

Fuck ’em. You play stupid, you win stupid prizes. Nobody wins in a trade war. Sure, we lose here in Canada but so do you, American distillers. Too bad, so sad. If you’re not happy, take it up with YOUR government, not ours. Or, move your operations here, like this company is doing:

Putting it back on the shelf doesn’t mean we’ll buy it.

They can complain all they want, Canadian provinces have made their decision.
They FA and now they are in the Finding Out phase.

@Kevin I think their hope is to get the provinces to come back on their decisions. Like Alberta and Saskatchewan did.
