"Aggressive response", lol. Moron-in-chief is threatening to annex their country!

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.

To be fair, that entire industry, wines about everything.

“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.

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

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!

But I kept hearing that the US doesn’t need Canada?

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.

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.

Good. Alcohol is evil anyway.

Art of the deal.

Oh no it turns out your vote did matter after all.

Fuck murica. They dont need us!

Sad because California has started to make a few decent wines.
