What the fuck does America even make that the rest of the world needs?
Half of the stuff coming out is just Chinese products with a US company logo taped to it.
Their biggest export by a mile is oil. Wean yourselves off oil = Wean yourselves off America.
Wait, you mean the constantly flowing pipeline of low-brow cultural sewage that they hawk to the world doesn't tickle your fancy?
Reality shows that have no resemblance to reality?
Love in pods?
The Kardashians?
Survivor? Let's take that one. You think anyone watches that to see the winner? Why not just have one episode then? No. Americans LOVE a loser. They identify most closely to losers, because that is their nature.
A river of shit, from a SHIT HOLE COUNTRY, worshipping their rejects and losers, deserving of all the scorn that's shortly inbound.
in Quebec the SAQ stopped selling it at all
Fier de mes cousins quΓ©bΓ©cois.
Don't worry, you can still make American beer at home by buying Canadian beer, then cutting it with water.
You want to make sure that shit's genuine nestlΓ© from the Sun baked hills of California.
Won't this encourage some businesses to move production to Canada? That would get around the tax, right? Come to think of it... Canadian labor is a bit cheaper, isn't it?
I see this as an absolute win.
Better union up
Any Canadian recommendations for bourbon alternatives? i.e., 51% or more corn, the remainder rye, maybe some wheat and very little barley?

Can you get into rye? Canada makes better rye.
I don't mind rye at all, so that's the plan, but I really like bourbon in my old fashioneds.
These better stay up even though Trump "paused" his tariff threats. Until he fully backs down and cancels them, Canada shouldn't be selling US booze.
I thought he only paused Mexico for 30 days?
He paused ours aswell. I think he realized what a mistake he made and tried to find a way to safe face.
We already stopped selling Russian alchohol after the invasion so there's plenty of precident for a full stop.
I do miss Russian standard though but I was able to switch to ketal one when I drank more quite easily
I hope we keep the clearly-marked signs up regardless of the 30-day reprieve announced today.
We cannot just go back to the way things were.
No we really can't.
I want to go around stores putting stickers on the US products directing shoppers to local ones.
Maybe just post it notes so I don't get on trouble for vandalism.
Alcohol is bad example .... people would buy Pakistani aged gasoline as a drink if they had to without caring if it was made in Canada or not.

That still sounds more appealing than American βwhiskeyβ
If they make the best aged gasoline then why not? As long as it's not American.
Some people perhaps? Like if you're buying well alcohol to get drunk then sure...
Most people are extremely choosey about booze though - hence the gigantic market around wines and whiskeys.
EU needs something like "Certified Not USA" or something. Go go go Canada!
