Fuck them
The Combating Attacks on our National Alcoholic Drinks by Allies (CANADA) Act states that under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act, the legislation would direct U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and his office to investigate Canadian provincial liquor board restrictions on the import and distribution of U.S. products within 30 days, if made law.
Fucking toddlers coming up with the names for these acts, lol. They definitely saught to fit words to the acronym they chose.
The CANADA Act builds on comments from U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer, who stated that resolving the Canadian provinces’ discriminatory treatment of American alcohol producers would likely require an enforcement action.”
What are they going to do? Add more tarifs? Are they really going to pretend that canada is doing this for no reason? As if this isn’t already a response to the US’s actions…
He’ll probably threaten to send in the national guard lmao
Many American LEOs can operate here, as long as it’s within 100mi of the border. Somehow, we let them, although the current state of America could see that change.
American law enforcement has come to Canada to arrest a Canadian in Canada for doing something that is not illegal in Canada, and taken that Canadian to America to stand trial for that thing which is illegal there. Yes, it is about marijuana, why do you ask?
Not sure about the logic there. Canada can just buy Canadian, its the U.S. alcohol makers getting fucked.
I don’t even buy US apple any more. Been going on 2 years of home made/baking meals with Canadian meat, flour, and vegetables.
My fucking grocery store sells 10 kinds of apples and 9 are from the US. The other is imported from New Zealand. Don’t we grow apples?! Ffs
It’s not viable economically. Orchards with decades-old trees were uprooted for something else. Sometimes that ‘something’ is shitty wood-frame housing (fire’s favourite food).
The damage is done. I personally will never buy an American product again, even if it’s on the shelf. Hopefully retailers got the message and will stock more Canadia products. There’s some amazing B.C. beer that I’ve never seen in Ontario. How about we start at home? That will at least get more sales from me.
There’s some BC products we don’t see in BC! Near Vernon they’re making some bourbon-like spirits (that we can’t legally call bourbon when not made in Kentucky) that we can’t buy in Burnaby, for example. Same province. Same LDB/LCB. Same time zone.
Our liquor distro is a fine example of something in need of serious tuning.
that we can’t legally call bourbon when not made in Kentucky
yet Kuntucky steals the name from France.
Looks like they need Canada afterall.
Even if all our politicians chicken out, we will not soon forget the bullshit the Trump regime has tried. “51st state”, that asshole Hoekstra, and too many other things. Buy Canadian, or at least not American.
Back to the ol’ “states rights” again, huh? Rights to what? Impose laws on others states? How’d that work out again…?
It’s genuinely unclear what you think you’re referencing, and I’m concerned by the number of upvotes this has.
What exactly is the comparison between a federal action threatening exportation of alcohol to Canada in retaliation of provincial Canadian restrictions on the importation of US alcohol, and revisionist historical narratives that white wash slavery and racism in the Confederate States? It is seriously confused comparison to make, and the additional “how’d that work out,” implies that the Civil War was actually about states’ rights (it was not) and we have historical consequences to point to and prove that it was wrong.
Then there’s the fact that this is about a federal US move in response to provincial policies that this article quotes the Prime Minister of Canada describing as an “irritant.” Are you saying that provinces shouldn’t have the right to regulate the importation of US alcohol in the same way that US states shouldn’t have had the right to maintain slavery (which you do seem to believe was the case)? Or are you saying that the federal government of either of these countries shouldn’t have the right to “impose laws on other states,” which in your understanding includes international trade policy. Seriously, what the fuck is this supposed to mean?
Even besides all of that, how fucking tasteless is it to talk about booze trade as though it is comparable to fucking chattel slavery? Like, seriously? Do none of you understand how fucking petulant it is to behave as though those are similar issues?
I thought Canadian stores already pulled American liquors/Beers Off of their shelves because of the Tariffs
Not because of tariffs.
At this point, you can put all US booze back on shelves, but selling it is a different story.
I’ll never knowingly buy American anything if I have an alternative choice. Fuck those guys.
Show up to a party with US beer and you might as well be wearing a swastika face tattoo.
Alberta put it back in a matter of weeks, because Smith is a Trump-loving traitor.
Curioys how it’s actually selling here.
Canadians are rightfully pissed at the US. There’s been a huge boycott movement since Trump got in office.
I guess that boycott just got 10 years longer.
we’re already not buying US alcohol. how could banning us from buying it hurt us more?
poorly phrased headline
