    The decision to continue offering American alcohol has paid off, Verboom said. “We’ve had people from Manitoba come in here, buy some product and thank us for having it because they can’t get it in their home province.”

    Eat my ass, ignorant fucking traitor.

      To me it’s kinda the same energy as grocery stores with giant Buy Canadian banners but still stocking US products. My man, you’re literally the one in charge of what products are available!

    “Alberta Premier Danielle Smith was clear in ruling out disruption to oil and gas as a countermeasure.”

    Marlaina is a cunt.

      Is he tryting to rename it to “Lake America” because he drowned a kid in it? Maybe he did the same in the Gulf of Mexico? And now, when you take him to court, he can say, “Nuh-uh, that __ doesn’t exist therefore I’m innocent?”

      I don’t want to insult the lake and our First Nations people like that

      Ontario comes from Huron meaning “Great Lake”, and it is a great lake. It’s also a fitting name for our beautiful lake filled province.

      To change the name (over ego) would be an insult to our history, it would be pointless colonialism, and it would worsen our great country and province.

    Here’s the Canadian Government’s “Complete list of U.S. products subject to counter tariffs

    https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/programs/international-trade-finance-policy/canadas-response-us-tariffs/complete-list-us-products-subject-to-counter-tariffs.html

    Effective September 8, 2026

    The new targeted counter tariffs are concentrated in sectors such as steel and aluminum, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, plastics, and electronics. In certain sectors, such as steel and aluminum, existing counter-tariffs will increase from 25 per cent to 50 per cent to match U.S. rates.

    Other existing counter-tariffs, including against U.S. autos, will also continue to apply.
