Many of those distillery owners are under the impression that Canadians want and need their product, and will resume buying once the Trump regime is gone.

As though we will simply forgive and forget.

For them, both sides were the same. Until now, no one called them on their bullshit.

"We insulted our best customer, telling them they weren't buying enough and we were sick of their free loading and that we might confiscate their house. For some reason they're not coming to our shop anymore. Clearly they're being unreasonable."

Well, well, well, it looks like we're faced with the consequences of our own actions. How dare they!

Took me a minute to realize this was American alcoholic drinks, and not the cigarette brand American Spirit.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago

At least those distilleries now have the supplies to get as tanked as their revenues.

Canadians got the spirit... wait maybe they didn't

[–] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 30 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Oh they got it alright. Just from someone other than the US

I do genuinely hope they’re enjoying all the great European and Asian spirits that us unitedstatesians are having to pay through the nose for nowadays. And I absolutely do encourage Canadians and anyone else to boycott American shit as much as possible. A lot of this is happening because our citizenry is, on average, abjectly stupid. I strongly encourage you to collectively educate us.

Ohh wow... as if people have a choice and they can actually use it!

[–] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yup, had the choice to continue buying New Balance shoes like I did for the past 25 years or try out European brands. Went for the latter of course.

[–] socialsecurity@piefed.social 2 points 6 hours ago

And new balance were actually made in us too unlike Nike trash

Although nb caved on it I think

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 7 points 7 hours ago

Good keep it up hit MAGAts right where it hurts.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Good. With the amount we'll all need to drink to get through the next few years, it's better if we have more liquor available domestically.

And at least it's one of the industries where America actually makes things still. But I bet the glass bottles are all imported, so we'll need to fix that.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Too bad domestic prices are only going up.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Well, you gotta make that money back somehow. Might as well tax all the alcoholic rubes in your own country and blame it on the Democrats or the Canadians, or anyone but Trump, who is actually responsible.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
