Was the Canadian market that important for American liquor that our boycott busted them? Or were there other countries that also boycotted their alcohol?

I still buy Canadian goods. Don't care, worth it. Besides I'm less likely to get food poisoning. Win WIn
I should start a store here stateside that only sells Canadian goods. Food mostly, for safety
Well maybe instead of complaining about Canadians not buying, they should be doing something to get rid of the menace in their whitehouse. But of course it's much easier to just blame Canada.
As an American im going to try my best to only buy Canadian
The majority of these distilleries are in red states. They voted for Trump and this is what they get.
Tariffs aren't just Trump's obsession, they're a core part of Project 2025's economic plan, so any R president/congress is going to keep throwing up tariffs.
Of course, tariffs aren't actually helping American workers, because they're effectively a hidden sales tax, while the R's block labor reforms, such as increasing mimumum wage, destroying unions, etc. as they have done for decades.
Agreed. I'm in one and it's hurting distilleries here. Absolutely fuck them!
Enjoy what you voted for.
How do you like your deal maker that you liked because he’s so brash and strong and tells it like it is, now? We were sure you were idiots back then - now you know, too.
Them good ol' boys
NOT drinkin' whiskey and rye

Canada makes some of the best whiskeys (and ryes) in the world, we'll have plenty to drink for sure!
I was legit shocked when I saw Canadian Club available for purchase in Sydney Australia.
CC's good stuff! My personal favourite from them is their 100% Rye
Lot no. 40 is top shelf.
Well, they could give everyone deep discounts to increase sales and so everyone can drink enough to blackout til the end of this nightmare.
You're not going to buy back Canadian customers.
At least salvage what they can from the nightmare trying to bring back measles.

I’m surprised that two Canadian provinces are supporting US tariffs. I don’t know much about Alberta and Saskatchewan but I’m surprised they are siding against Canada.
Alberta is run by Charles Koch via a lobbyist stooge, and a media ecosystem bought and paid for by Blackrock. Nearly half of "Albertans" have been in Alberta less than 20 years, about 25% of those are people came from Texas or the US Midwest, and the rest were people who washed out of polite society in other provinces and were willing to dig holes for big oil for a meal and some meth money.
Alberta has an immigration problem, but it isn't black or brown people that are the problem so it doesn't get phrased that way.
Lived there for years, some of most backwards small town people you'd see and often in the cities. They have their US styled ideals but have no idea how much they'd lose if they separated. Course maybe some do, shouldn't paint a broad brush but in general from living in the ass end of nowhere, most people were nice but I didn't agree with their views. Which I think is a common thread, locally they're nice they just vote to restrict anyone not like them, which isn't nice.
Mean where I lived there were tons of immigrants (compared to town size anyways, lots of newfies too, couldn't throw a rock without hitting one, never could understand the accent when they drank but since I was drunk too didn't matter, in the end everyone was usually cool) actually people from all over. They were all nice and personable, and many set up shops and they did well. Why don't we want more of people like that in general?
I was born here, raised here, spent most of my life here, raised my kids here. I watched our population nearly double since I graduated high school. We'd look a lot more like BC if our urban population were a bit bigger and our rural population were a bit smaller. We missed having an NDP premier by 3 ridings and 100 votes last provincial election.
Unfortunately we developed a reputation for being a place where anti-social conservatives can thrive and we've been in decline ever since.
IDK about Sask. But Berta's premier is a traitor working for Dumpie.
Can't speak for Saskatchewan but Alberta's leadership is trying their hardest to turn it into North Texas.
