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.

Not our problem your president broke the agreement.

I don't know the guy's politics, and I don't care to know them, but if you have a super generic, easily replaceable export, you should avoid presidents who fuck around, because you'll be the one who finds out.

Dang. Should have donated harder, bucko.

Removing American products had very little to do with tariffs. It started after Trump threatened to invade Canada.

If you're pissed, put your influence against Trump and his horseshit tariffs. What was a disproportionate response was Canada doing nothing wrong, and America putting tariffs on their goods.

It's a terrible whiskey anyway. Go for a good Scottish or Irish single malt.

Bourbons have their place, you can't really make an old fashioned with a scotch .. I mean you can .. but you shouldn't. That said you shouldnt use Jack Daniels for one either.

Eh, Jack isn't really a bourbon. It's made with a starter but that's still not really a bourbon. That would be Jim. I don't particularly care for either, but when I was drinking, I preferred a good Irish or Scottish neat.

Occasionally I liked a cocktail with Cointreau, Tequila and lime on the rocks. I forget what it was called.

They only have Trump to blame

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They also have the Project 2025 authors and the rest of the Republican Party to blame as well.

Im pretty sure insulting our PM and threatening to annex us is worse but what do I know…

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 weeks ago

That wasn't Jack Daniel's! That was just their owners, their customers, Tennessee's politicians, their voters, other red states...

Right? Gotta love these fuckers who only see the money side of this. The potato dick wants to occupy our communities and pillage our natural resources, and this shit stain thinks not being allowed to sell his rotten corn juice in out territory is a step to far?

We know he voted for this menace. All of these wastes of carbon did. This is what he voted for.
