Dear Eric Gregory
Everything that your association produces is an optional, non-essential product.
For every specific product produced, there is a comparable or superior Canadian or European product available.
What you are going to find, is that we do not take threats to our sovereignty lightly. You are also going to learn that our memories are long. Donald can end the whole tariff fiasco today, and your sales will not recover.
You may wish to ask your president how alienating all foreign markets is supposed to make international sales easier.
Everything I've stated is just a fact. Whomever Eric is addressing is irrelevant.
But what you should do first before lending him a sympathetic ear, is clarify who he voted for, and if he or his organization donated any funds to elect Donald Trump.
Shrug.
Anyhoo, that'll be zero dollars and zero cents spent by myself on American booze for the rest of my life.
Now, based on you trying to trying to set me straight on what's making republican booze producers very sad, I think I'll put more effort into getting my fellow Canadians to follow suit.
This is where some business association guy is explaining that Canadians are overreacting to the direct threat to their sovereignty, by their former greatest ally and friend.
I promise you, I completely understood what was said and what was meant.
If you were forced to guess, and the penalty for guessing wrong was your immediate execution, what would your guess be? Yeah, exactly.
Apologies for the upcoming harsh language, but I feel that you are not listening for understanding:
Fuck your Bourbon industry.
Fuck the notion of "intended audience" when the whole world is watching and listening.
Your president is threatening our sovereignty.
Unjust and unfair pulling of American product?
Would you like to know who has the abso-fucking-lutely least weight in judging what is just or unjust when my sovereignty is threatened?
That's right, some fuckface beverage rep. You rep merely one product among a multitude that we're going scorched earth on.
Now, since the topic is reading for understanding, do you think you can pick up what I'm putting down?
Are you sure? Because Trump has been doing it for months.
Are you sure? Looks like Trump the little bitch that he is, delayed the onset of tariffs on Canadian goods.
See if Canadian consumers stop actively seeking out Canadian substitute of American products.
Observe how rapidly we strengthen our international trade with our real allies.
