    Yeah, the year long ban in place has allowed me to find other liquors I learned to enjoy.

    Turns out a year is all you need to develop an acquired taste.

    If you insult a nations sovereignty and identity, the boycott is stronger 10 fold.

    I don’t want their booze, their diarrhea lettuce, or their super hero movies. We’re continuing this boycott until the US gets their shit together.

    Between all of the bullshit tariffs, retaliation, and trade-war nonsense Trump has instigated around the world, the Canadian liquor boycott seems to be LITERALLY the only one having the intended effect.

    Keep it up.

    This will change my life not at all.

    I go to a private liquor store that didn’t get rid of US booze. I just avoided it.

    I don’t drink anymore, just lost interest as i got older and don’t miss it. It’s an easy fuck you with no effort on my part.

      Same. I’ll have a beer now and then, but there’s so many small breweries these days it’s easy to avoid the American ones.

      Also, now that I don’t drink to get drunk any more, I’m willing to pay more for better beer.

    The only US alcohol I like is Bourbon. I recently discovered BRBN from the Okanogan, and now I can’t think of any I would miss.

    I am sure the management that is responsible for stocking the shelves will be very hesitant about restocking with expensive American booze until the dust settles and they know which way the consumer is leaning, no matter what Carney asks for. Business is business, politics is politics.

      While cathartic in the moment, product insurance means the alcohol would be of less value just sitting on the shelves.

      Don’t waste your energy on ruining the American economy. Americans can do that much better. Spend your energy and money on Canada instead.

        You’d be more productive sending trump DMs saying “Iran is disrespecting the fuck out of you. I wouldn’t take that if I was you. You don’t wanna look like a loser, do you?” More likely to ruining the economy that way
