Disappointed, but not surprised. I’m going to have to just double down on boycotting more.
We really need to make it easier to buy Canadian booze from other parts of Canada. I’ve been picking up a different bottle of whiskey every time I go, but there’s always a piss poor selection from anywhere other than my province. I also don’t drink too much, so a bottle lasts quite a while, but still.
It’s reaching the point where we’re going to need to start boycotting Carney’s corporate backers, too. I would love to know who actually ghost wrote bill C22.
For a guy who was voted in to stand up to Trump, he really seems to be doing a lot of appeasement.
My dudes and ladies. Please don’t drink our booze. It’s loaded with oligarchy and fascism.
Seriously though, I hope everyone in Canada never buys a drop no matter how cheap.
And they’ve been caught watering it down, including premium brands.
But how can you water down US beer?
By adding water.
But if you add water to piss, you just get watered down piss? I don’t get it… /s
and they still lap it up.
probably e. coli as well… as most of the us groceries have it
Neat. We’ll know where NOT to shop, because they caved.
Sounds like the deal includes dropping the alcohol boycott, and building the keystone xl, a massive crude oil pipeline that gives Canada basically nothing given that the refining and final sale are done by US companies.
That’s the way Alberta wants it. A few oxy addicts in a backhoe feeding US industry. Every boom cycle they just grab the money and refuse to invest in local infrastructure. Keystone will never get built, it’s been on and off for over 12 years.

I’m not even Canadian but fuck this guy
it’s disappointing seeing conservatives complain about him being too liberal while he does a bunch of conservative shit and then they say he stole conservative ideas and complain about that, then go back to complaining about him being a liberal
It’s a lot more annoying watching Liberals continue to support him as he gives conservatives their heart’s desire.
oh god yeah that’s annoying af
a surprisingly low amount of people are recognizing it
Conservatives will always complain that everything is “too liberal”. Each time they do, they slide the goalposts
Carney is weak AF.
As I wrote before, I think this is strategic maneuvering on the alcohol ban on his part. On paper he can make it look like we’re acquiescing to their demand, while in practice it won’t make a noticeable dent in their alcohol sales.
I’m tired of hearing that Carney is being all “strategic”. We’re losing big time over Trump’s tantrums, and it’s costing us a lot. Trump knows he’s got the upper hand because the U.S. is a huge economic player, and Canada’s most important economic partner.
He’s effectively holding us hostage.
But Canada is also a big economic player to the U.S. in more ways than we can imagine. Cutting them off could hurt them enough for everyone in the U.S. to call to impeach the motherfucker and put an end to this circus.
But instead we keep enabling Trump and losing the entire way.
I’m sorry, but this is silly. This is an issue because American liquor companies are taking a financial hit and they are making it an issue. If the finances don’t recover, they are not going to stop making it an issue, whatever tricks we might manage that technically satisfies a deal. We are dealing with gangsters. The best move is not to concede.
If putting booze back on shelves restores US sales, then it’s Canada that is weak and pathetic.
JFC we quickly forget Trump had a huge number of supporters in Canada before 2024.
I know. His cult extends beyond the U.S. borders.
That’s why we gotta cut them at the source.
Honestly as long as we don’t give in to the stupid military procurement crap(F35s, E7 Wedgetail, & Golden Dome) that was being floated I’m ok with the alcohol back on the shelves(alcohol is a dumb consumer good we can easily replace. Military hardware and contracts not so much). it costs us very little and can be re-implemented fast if that idiot plays dumb games. Let him strut around like some dumb peacock that got a big win while i refuse to buy it. If we can ship the oil south to keep Alberta placated with a bunch of new pipelines to busy themselves with that O&G Execs realize only get completed if the referendum fails, the referendum will get crushed and we can go back to focusing on electrification/EV’s/Transit for Canada as a whole and replacing our dumbass premier’s that have gotten cover from “Donny Dumbass”. Hopefully with everything else going so shittily for the him, he’ll be too distracted till after midterms that we can negotiate the rest of this horseshit away during CUSMA re-negotiations.
Nah. Not only will I not buy US booze, I’m going to continue to not buy US anything that I can help. I’ve put more money into Canadians’ pockets in the last few years than maybe my whole life and I’m feeling pretty damn good about it.
sure, recall the ban. let the market decide.
hopefully Canadians will continue not buying american stuff, and there won’t be a business case to stock it
Canadian alchys don’t give a fuck. The heavy drinkers in rural areas love Trump.
Do they represent a significant percentage of alcohol sales, though? Even if they drink three times what the average person does, if they only represent 3% of the population, they’re little more than a rounding error.
Do they represent a significant percentage of alcohol sales, though?
According to CAMH 25% are admitted heavy drinkers in Ontario. That’s just admitted.
Doesn’t mean they’re rural or can’t afford domestic booze, though.
The Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said the request came directly from the negotiations and was conditional on a final deal, which is a defensible way forward
OK Carney; I’ll look around my house and if I find any US alcohol, I’ll return it to the store.
