    Restoring US alcohol to shelves is a bit premature considering we still have a potential 50% tariff over our heads.

    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.

    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.

    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

      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

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    OK Carney; I’ll look around my house and if I find any US alcohol, I’ll return it to the store.
