    It’s not just tariffs. Tell Donald the Hutt to quit his 51st state bullshit and maybe in a generation and plenty of ass kissing, Canadians will forgive you.

    Many of those distillery owners are under the impression that Canadians want and need their product, and will resume buying once the Trump regime is gone.

    As though we will simply forgive and forget.

      As by design by Trump Putin.

      Longterm destabilization by fracturing America’s closest allies was an obvious goal. Still, no country can build a longterm plan knowing the US can go to shit every 4 years. The volatility is off the charts. So systemic change needs to occur to prevent this shit.

    “We insulted our best customer, telling them they weren’t buying enough and we were sick of their free loading and that we might confiscate their house. For some reason they’re not coming to our shop anymore. Clearly they’re being unreasonable.”

    Well, well, well, it looks like we’re faced with the consequences of our own actions. How dare they!

    Took me a minute to realize this was American alcoholic drinks, and not the cigarette brand American Spirit.

        I do genuinely hope they’re enjoying all the great European and Asian spirits that us unitedstatesians are having to pay through the nose for nowadays. And I absolutely do encourage Canadians and anyone else to boycott American shit as much as possible. A lot of this is happening because our citizenry is, on average, abjectly stupid. I strongly encourage you to collectively educate us.

          Yup, had the choice to continue buying New Balance shoes like I did for the past 25 years or try out European brands. Went for the latter of course.

    Good. With the amount we’ll all need to drink to get through the next few years, it’s better if we have more liquor available domestically.

    And at least it’s one of the industries where America actually makes things still. But I bet the glass bottles are all imported, so we’ll need to fix that.

        Well, you gotta make that money back somehow. Might as well tax all the alcoholic rubes in your own country and blame it on the Democrats or the Canadians, or anyone but Trump, who is actually responsible.
