My dudes and ladies. Please don’t drink our booze. It’s loaded with oligarchy and fascism.

Seriously though, I hope everyone in Canada never buys a drop no matter how cheap.

And they've been caught watering it down, including premium brands.

OK Carney; I’ll look around my house and if I find any US alcohol, I’ll return it to the store.

Sounds like the deal includes dropping the alcohol boycott, and building the keystone xl, a massive crude oil pipeline that gives Canada basically nothing given that the refining and final sale are done by US companies.

it's disappointing seeing conservatives complain about him being too liberal while he does a bunch of conservative shit and then they say he stole conservative ideas and complain about that, then go back to complaining about him being a liberal

Nah. Not only will I not buy US booze, I'm going to continue to not buy US anything that I can help. I've put more money into Canadians' pockets in the last few years than maybe my whole life and I'm feeling pretty damn good about it.

Neat. We'll know where NOT to shop, because they caved.

Disappointed, but not surprised. I'm going to have to just double down on boycotting more.

We really need to make it easier to buy Canadian booze from other parts of Canada. I've been picking up a different bottle of whiskey every time I go, but there's always a piss poor selection from anywhere other than my province. I also don't drink too much, so a bottle lasts quite a while, but still.

sure, recall the ban. let the market decide.

hopefully Canadians will continue not buying american stuff, and there won't be a business case to stock it

Carney is weak AF.

As I wrote before, I think this is strategic maneuvering on the alcohol ban on his part. On paper he can make it look like we're acquiescing to their demand, while in practice it won't make a noticeable dent in their alcohol sales.

The Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said the request came directly from the negotiations and was conditional on a final deal, which is a defensible way forward

There it is, elbows down.

Expect a parade of Premiers lifting bans next week.

Honestly as long as we don't give in to the stupid military procurement crap(F35s, E7 Wedgetail, & Golden Dome) that was being floated I'm ok with the alcohol back on the shelves(alcohol is a dumb consumer good we can easily replace. Military hardware and contracts not so much). it costs us very little and can be re-implemented fast if that idiot plays dumb games. Let him strut around like some dumb peacock that got a big win while i refuse to buy it. If we can ship the oil south to keep Alberta placated with a bunch of new pipelines to busy themselves with that O&G Execs realize only get completed if the referendum fails, the referendum will get crushed and we can go back to focusing on electrification/EV's/Transit for Canada as a whole and replacing our dumbass premier's that have gotten cover from "Donny Dumbass". Hopefully with everything else going so shittily for the him, he'll be too distracted till after midterms that we can negotiate the rest of this horseshit away during CUSMA re-negotiations.
