March 5 (Reuters) - Jack Daniel's maker Brown-Forman's CEO Lawson Whiting said on Wednesday Canadian provinces taking American liquor off store shelves was "worse than a tariff" and a "disproportionate response" to levies imposed by the Trump administration.

Several Canadian provinces have taken U.S. liquor off store shelves as part of retaliatory measures against President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Canadians are steering away from U.S. goods, sports events and trips following the recent imposition of tariffs, which have left them stirred, despite the deep ties between the two countries.

I am but a lone Canadian, but I'll not buy a single American product, especially not from red states, until Tangerine Palpatine leaves office or dies, whichever happens first. We make fucking fantastic whiskey right here in Quebec.

It says right in the article, "Canada accounts for 1% of the sales..." So I'm not one to shit on good news but I don't think thats a problem for them. But that's just Jack Daniel's. Across the whole spirits, liquors, and wines industry definitely will add up.

If that's true, why are they bitching?

That has real vibes of, "I don't care if you break up with me, I have hundreds of girls ready to date me. Wait! Come back!"

Because imaginary line must go up no matter what.
