"We're gonna invade and annex your country!"
"Well, we're not gonna buy any more of your stuff, then!"
"Whoa, so aggressive!"
Last month Canada united to boycott American wines — taking all U.S.-made vino and alcohol off its liquor and wine store shelves and out of restaurants across the country — as an aggressive retaliatory response to Trump’s tariffs on its political ally north of the border.
Not a single mention about the threats of economic strangulation and annexation.
Dear American cousins, tarrifs, while backstabbing the best ally anyone has ever had, are your perogative. Your country, your borders, your rules. Sure we will stand up for ourselves and counter tarrif, but that is just business.
Threatening annexation is what has caused for many a lifelong change. The interviewee who said that "even if everything returned to normal tomorrow, it would take a year to recover" missed the point badly. Canadians are a friendly bunch, but once burned like this will never set foot in you country again for a lifetime and will make the consumer boycot for life. I am one of them.
Even if trump is gone, the dems sweep and get universal healthcare, and become a shiny happy prosperous place, I am done with America. I don't deal with backstabbers. There may be a time when our countries can heal and reconcile. I will be dead before that time comes. This is generational fuckery and America will reap what it sows.
As an American, I'm sorry, but good. Every single country needs to stand up to the idiots that enabled the fascists to take over our country. We need to feel pain before we learn it seems.
Damn. Fucking. Right. Bud.
Perhaps you could set foot in this country again to burn down the White House for old time's sake?
Not interested. Unless you make us.

“Canada is the single most important export market for U.S. wines with retail sales in excess of $1.1 billion annually,” Robert Koch, the California Wine Institute’s president and CEO, said in a statement.
Awesome stat. They can get fucked.
I see this as an absolute win for freedom & democracy.
Farmers are currently in the "Finding Out" stage unfortunately. They were warned.

Sorry America, but your administration has decided you need to suffer. You should do something about that.
Until then, borders closed. We aren't visiting or buying your crap.
Thank you for that, seriously.
Your external pressure helps encourage more people to rise up. I've seen a ton of Canadian flags at the 50501 protests. We stand in solidarity against this madness.

Even if it were still on the shelf, it’s not going to be bought.
Since nobody else will be buying wine or jack Daniels, and whatever other alcohol, I am guessing alcohol will become cheaper and alcoholism will be on the rise, the next few years.
Make Americans Alcoholics Again
Hey, just like Russia!
Trump's tariffs lowering the US wine industry's sales is just preparation for his environmental policies lowering their production by making it harder to grow grapes. It'll all balance out eventually.
Guess they should have thought about that before voting....or should have actually voted!
Californians?
There's a lot of wine country in Eastern Washington, Idaho, and Oregon, too. Rural areas with rural voters. Walla Walla county went hard for Trump, even though he lost statewide.
More towards America as a whole. We all know how California votes so it's not on them that's for sure. But they sure are suffering from the election outcome that's for sure and it really sucks.
The people that make wine in california vote conservative. The cities are liberal but rural is very red.
Good. Maybe it will make them stand up to their tyrannical dictator. That's what this is all about.

I live in Australia and the local winery is owned by a Californian company that sends all their output exclusively to the US domestic market. It would be such a shame if those US companies fucked off and profits went back into the local economy.
But I kept hearing that the US doesn’t need Canada?
The US would have a trade surplus with Canada if not for oil which Canada sells at below market rate, the US refines and then sells for 3x their purchase price.
If anything, Canada subsidizes the US.

Come for us and we won't go easily like your citizens.
I want to know how they voted before I feel sorry for them. . . That being said, I did notice my usual brand of wine went up by $2 a bottle this month. Guess they are trying to make up for this mess.
Art of the deal.
Oh no it turns out your vote did matter after all.
Fuck murica. They dont need us!
