Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Canada should be able to make their own good whisky as they have places at least as desolate and depressing as the Scottish Highlands and islands.
We do, we drink Rye.
Or we could make other kinds of liquor. Whisky isn't the only (nor even necessarily the best) liquor in the world.
You know whiskey is several types of drink, right?
No. No I didn't know that. I had no idea that scotch, bourbon, rye, etc. etc. etc. were different.
Here's a thought, Sparky, in the future don't be an insulting jackass, K? Buy-bye.
Projection is a bad look, my dude. See where the guy wasn't stepping on your dick even a little bit and you responded like he cut off your Camaro.
Why does lemmy.ca, of all instances, have so many fucking dickheads on it?
If you leave there would be one less
Scotch, rye, bourbon, vodka etc are all whisky.
Vodka is not whisky. Unless you use a bizarre definition of "whisky" that says "any distilled spirit".
Isn’t their whiskey spelled ‘maple syrup’?
We do indeed have maple flavoured whisky.
You mean sortilege and it's all mine, thanks.

There's some good stuff coming out of shelter point and a good bourbon from near Vernon, but the latter especially is hard to get even in the same region.
We have a distro problem even when the trade barrier problem is fixed.
do they have the right kind of oak trees up there? i thought the white oak was a crucial source of flavor and basically the thing that makes it whisky at all. theres already been a shortage in the states for a while that forced manufactures to stop making full oak barrels and be more efficient with the wood we have.
There are seven types of whiskey, not just bourbon, but Canada makes Bourbon style whisky that actually wins awards over that shit from Kentucky.

Yeah we can't even get that here in the v3l. And that's a bit of a shame.
Canada makes rye, not that moldy shit from Scotland.
