Does he want Conservatives to wins?
The only reason why he got into power was because PP was such a detestable imbecile. If the Cons picked a slightly less insane Trump ass kisser he would still be in Toronto working for whatever bank he was working for.
He was going to win until Trudeau left
If it’s forced on the provincial liquor boards they should only accept us booze on consignment,
Yep it will be on the shelves but I suspect it’ll be there for a long long time not selling
“Mark Carney Forces Canadians to Drink US Alcohol” -Jesse Kline, National Compost.
Fuck that, I don’t miss any of their crap
I see it as an easy win for Canada because this started as a grassroots movement by the people. The provincial government removal from the shelves came afterwards, in support. Put the booze back, who cares. Most people still won’t purchase that fascist crap.
I don’t know if your faith in the Canadian consumer is warranted. There was just a radio piece I heard the other day on NPR about how Canadian tourism is already on the uptick in the United States. I think maybe the average Canadian doesn’t have the wherewithal you would like them to.
I don’t know about people not purchasing. It may be the part of Canada I’m in, but USAian products aren’t sitting on the shelves for as long and a lot of people have lost the care to avoid them if they ever did. A great example was last summer when USAian watermelons were rotting in the bins at grocery stores while Mexican and Canadian ones were selling quickly. This year I’m seeing people pick them up without a care. It doesn’t help USAian companies are purposely hiding the origins and maple washing their products.
Plus, the uptick in Canadians travelling south of the border for non-work purposes means full acceptance and support for the USAian administration by those choosing to go to there.
I’m keeping up my boycott and always will. Those that don’t boycott when they can afford to or simply don’t care can be the first dealt with as traitors when the time inevitably comes.
You can replace USAian with just “US”
Would sound weird to say US when talking about the people. Just say American, like everyone else.
And because I know someone will be butthurt, GTFO. Virtually everyone calls it America, get over it.
So the booze bans, if I remember right, came in as part of the response to the US imposing tariffs, tariffs they justified with a flimsy excuse of ‘fentanyl!’. The US didn’t like that we responded to their clearly abusive/disrespectful tariffs, by applying more tariffs. Now Carney is negotiating to lower those tariffs in part by ending what little resistance/push-back Canada had shown.
Carney’s disappointing.
Still better than PP.
As Trump’s lapdog it’s hard to say he’s better. He’s the equivalent of what we thought PP would be.
Then you had a far higher opinion of PP than many of the people I know.
PP would keep us in CUSMA, something we assume LeBlanc is still working to get us out of.
PP would deport more people than he’d let in. We’re already doing that. Even stripping people of citizenship.
PP will destroy the environment with a pro oil agenda. We’re already doing that.
PP will go after minorities. Carney’s indigenous record shows we’re doing that.
PP will privatize public assets. Carney appears to be doing that.
PP will end pharmacare. Carney seems to have done that.
PP will side Trump. Look at Iran and explain how Carney isn’t doing that.
PP will put Canada further behind by cutting scientific research. Carney already did that.
zzz. PP’s conservatives had a DOGE-North campaign ready to go, because they thought Musks approach was awesome – there were lots of photos of it coming from their Alberta nerve center, when they thought it’d get them votes, even wearing red MCGA hats and all. Saying Carney’s fucking up things like social services is warranted criticism, yes, but PP would’ve butchered everything. And what’s this nonsense about “He’d keep us in CUSMA!”, the fuck? What is PP, the diaper whisperer? PP would’ve spread his cheeks so far apart to accept Donalds droopy dick, I don’t even know what bizarro rationale you’re using to pretend like he’d somehow magically solve anything at all – if he’d been able to ‘stay’ in the agreement the US wants out of, then he would’ve done it by conceding to every demand ever made by the Americans. And where’s his negotiating expertise coming from exactly anyhow, what with PP’s complete lack of any actual working experience outside of parliament? The states would’ve said “Fentanyl!” and PP would’ve accepted their bullshit messaging, designed a whole propaganda campaign around how fentanyl was “a MASSIVE problem in Canada, HUGE, some even say bigger than those forest fires and stuff!”, then he’d label it as a China drug and start targeting asian immigrants etc. Last election, the Canadian conservatives literally used the same campaign slogans as Trump - “Make Canada Great Again” and “Canada First” bullshit, and you want to pretend like they’d do anything but bend over for Trump? Absolute fantasist horseshit.
But whatever floats your boat I guess, you can suck off conservatives all day for all I care.
With all the cuts Carney has done the difference between him and doge North is marketing.
He’d keep us in CUSMA!”,
Canada doesn’t want to trade with the US. While we know we’re trying to negotiate out of it it’s uncertain if Carney can get us out or if he’s just going to keep sucking Trump’s dick. Presumably PP would suck Trump’s dick instead of getting us out of it.
PP would’ve spread his cheeks so far apart to accept Donalds droopy dick,
So no different.
The states would’ve said “Fentanyl!” and PP would’ve accepted their bullshit messaging,
He might open ICE offices in Canada or increase boarder security like Carney has.
you want to pretend like they’d do anything but bend over for Trump? Absolute fantasist horseshit.
No, I’m just not pretending Carney isn’t.
But whatever floats your boat I guess, you can suck off conservatives all day for all I care.
Carney is a conservative, think what you want but you’re the one defending them not I.
Restoring US alcohol to shelves is a bit premature considering we still have a potential 50% tariff over our heads.
Even without the tariff I certainly won’t buy it, hell they can even mark it 50% off.
BCLiquor, NSLC, LCBO, SAQ can buy one case of American liquor each, and put one bottle in a cute little locked display case at each store.
This is the way.
Really, incredibly sick of the federal government not even managing to have as much backbone as I, some random citizen.
😂 😅 😆 🤣 😂 😅 😆 🤣 😂 😅 😆 🤣 😂 😅 😆
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.
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.
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.
So not only is their beer like sex on a beach, their hard stuff going that way too?
There it is, elbows down.
Expect a parade of Premiers lifting bans next week.
Doug Ford can’t wait to get his special gold kneepads back on.
Honestly I never understood why was the product removed/put in storage in the first place?
Would it not have been substantially cheaper for businesses not to purchase any more stock instead?
People then could have choosen not to buy what’s left on the shelfs. And governments would not have to pay storage fees using taxpayer funds.
That is what’s happening. “On the shelves” means “for sale”, it’s not literal.
