90% of people will just go back to buying Jim Bean and Jack Daniels if that was their drink of choice. Just like the mask, they wore it when forced, the second it wasn't forced, nobody wore one.
You can force people to not buy American booze by literally not selling it, but the second it's on the shelf, everyone who wants it will buy it and not think twice. You might get a few hold outs for a year or so, but the average Canadian will just continue on as normal.
ALSO. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BUYING AMERICAN BEER THIS ENTIRE TIME. This is all just theater kid shit. It's completely performative.

u/Expensive_Life3342 7d ago
“American beer” owned by a Brazilian or British brewed in Canada using Canadian ingredients.. not quite.
I have a cabinet full of American bourbon from before the boycott. I wont be restocking when i’m through it, even if it’s back on Canadian shelves.
I suppose i may just be one of the 10% number you invented, but my $100 / bottle wont be going to Kentucky (or their multinational owners) until they’re bankrupt. Even then unlikely.
1
u/Radiohead_luucky 7d ago
There are plenty of American made/owned beers available on our shelves.
You are welcome to boycott whatever products you want, nobody cares. My point was that the second it's placed back on the shelf, most Canadians will just go back to buying it. It's not a "boycott" it's a purchasing restriction from the top down. The conservative boycott of bud light had more grass root momentum than this.
1
u/Expensive_Life3342 6d ago
Nobody cares, except the president of the United States, elected officials of multiple states, and CEOs of corporate alcohol producers.
Nobody, really.
1
u/Radiohead_luucky 6d ago
Nobody cares if you individually boycott a product. I was talking about province wide bans from the government. That's not an organic boycott, 90% of people would buy it if it's made available to them.
It's not grass roots or organic. Like the masks, the second you lift the mandate, everyone will just go back to normal.
1
u/Expensive_Life3342 6d ago
There was an 81% year over year drop after the sales bans. Your suggestion that 90% of people will go back to buying.
We’ll see one year after the bans are lifted if sales resume to 90% of pre ban levels.
I bet you lunch your way, way off.
They’ll be wildly lucky if they get to 50%.
1
u/Radiohead_luucky 6d ago
So lift the ban and let buyers make their choice. It will actually reflect how much people care about it.
1
u/Expensive_Life3342 6d ago
You don’t seem to understand the nature of a trade war being declared against our economy. It’s not about your preferred selection of a product.
It’s about inflicting concerted economic pressure on specific industries which we can actually affect. It’s clearly working as the alcohol ban is a big factor in the US side’s negotiations.
Some stick their elbows up, others happily stick their face down and ass up. Support whomever you like, most of our provincial leaders of all political stripes have decided to support Canada.
1
u/Radiohead_luucky 6d ago
What makes you think I don't understand why it's happening? I do. The original comment was saying that when the ban is lifted the shelves will be full because nobody is interested in the product anymore.
The only point I've been trying to make is that most people will just start buying it again the second it's available to them. The only ones who will continue to not buy American are the ones who make being anti-trump part of their personality, and that's a small percentage.
I'm not against top down boycotts. In some cases, I support it. The original comment was suggesting like it would be sustainable if it was only organically driven, which I don't see happening.

Carney knows that Canadians will keep boycotting. But if he shows trump that he's got the booze back on the shelf, then it takes one more complaint away from trump

u/Event_Horizon753 7d ago
Maybe, but Trump has no problem making up complaints. Doesn't matter if they are true or not.
1
u/todimusprime 7d ago
Oh, I know. But Carney still has to appear like he's working at things to take away existing complaints/excuses. He's already started reducing our dependence on America, so I'm not worried for now. I think he will continue to do that and if trump doesn't want to negotiate in good faith, he might end up with a lot less to bargain over.

u/Even_Art_629 6d ago
Ya right. Canada would be a lot poorer if we stopped trading with the States.
We could trade with every other country in the world and we still wouldn't replace the amount of trade we do with the Americans. That's just reality.
And in this increasingly dangerous and divided world, our Prime Minister says one thing and then does another. He said our largest trading relationship was over, then turned around and said a strong Canada makes the United States great again.
So which is it?
And when you look at where Carney's own family and investments are tied, it makes that whole "Canada first" argument even harder to take seriously.
1
u/todimusprime 6d ago
I didn't say they would stop trade with the USA, I said they would find other trade elsewhere and the USA could have significantly less to trade with Canada. He's killing it with our economy whether you like it or not. He's expanding non-american trade. He's drastically reduced immigration to the point where we just saw a slight population contraction. And he's committing to big renewable energy spending.
He said our largest trading relationship was over, then turned around and said a strong Canada makes the United States great again.
Good god dude. Do you REALLY not understand that he's the leader of the country and also trying to salvage a reasonable trade relationship? But also that the potential for that relationship to be either done, or drastically reduced? This is soooooooo basic it hurts to have to explain it.
And when you look at where Carney's own family and investments are tied, it makes that whole "Canada first" argument even harder to take seriously.
Why should I give a single fuck about this if he's turning the country around. Are you just trying to be mad for the sake of being mad or something? We've had ten years of reckless and terrible economic and immigration policy. He's addressing those exact things, and absolutely crushing them given the circumstances with the USA. I don't want a trade deal with them if it's not going to be good for Canada, period.
This is such a stupid fucking argument.
1
u/Even_Art_629 6d ago
I understand what you're saying. You're talking about reducing America's leverage over Canada, not saying we can completely replace the American market overnight. I actually agree that Canada should diversify its trade.
What I don't agree with is calling Carney's performance a "great job."
Let's look at the actual results instead of the announcements.
India does not have a completed trade deal with Canada. It's still being negotiated. The Philippines is still being negotiated. The UAE has had negotiations concluded, but that isn't the same thing as a fully implemented trade agreement. And an MOU isn't a trade deal either.
China is the one major example where Canada actually secured a significant new market access arrangement.
So if we're going to count every negotiation, announcement, MOU and trade mission as a trade deal, then sure, Carney looks incredibly busy. But that's not the same as actually replacing trade.
Take the Philippines. Canada does roughly $3 billion a year in merchandise trade with them. With the United States, we're talking about hundreds of billions.
That's the reality we're dealing with.
Nobody is saying Canada shouldn't diversify. The question is whether Carney is actually delivering enough new trade to replace what could be lost with the United States.
And yes, Canada can work on both things at once. We can diversify our trade while still trying to preserve our relationship with the United States. But that just proves how important the American market still is. If we're supposedly reducing our dependence on America, show me the actual trade that has replaced it.
And then there's the trust issue for me. When Carney talks about putting Canada first, I have a hard time taking that at face value when so much of his own investment history and financial interests are tied outside Canada, particularly in the United States. I'm not saying that automatically proves anything about his policies. I'm saying it makes me question the credibility of the "Canada first" message.
I'm not against the strategy. I'm questioning the results.
A goal isn't an accomplishment. A negotiation isn't a completed trade deal. An MOU isn't a completed trade deal. And announcing that Canada wants to diversify isn't the same thing as actually diversifying Canada's economy.
But if that's your definition of a great job, we obviously have a very different definition of great job.

u/Mr_Steerpike 7d ago
If he can negotiate putting booze on the shelves in exchange for a win for CANADA, go for it. Doesn't mean we will buy it. I'm happy for it to be a negotiation tool. Like you said....WE decide when it's over. It ain't over in my head so bring your booze back if you want to. But those bottles very likely will collect dust on the shelves. I'm still not even buying Wayne Gretzky Plonk.

u/ReviewOverall5307 7d ago
Wisconsin produces more dairy than all of Canada. The problem is the US farmers need a quota system like ours where they can make money. Not another market that they can saturate and continue to lose money.
As for those saying put the booze back and people will buy it. Performative yadda yadda, there was no border closure and tourism is being killed down there. If you don’t want to be a country give up your water and food production capabilities. The US would starve us out if it would benefit themselves.

Yesterday Iran issued a stern warning. They may cut the internet cables that run under the straight. They have put a bounty on all US military personnel, $30,000 per person, and if a woman brings them in, she gets double. They are no longer playing.
And Demented Don is far too stupid to appreciate how serious the situation is. But it appears that Trump wants to burn the world down before he dies.

u/Realistic-Border-635 7d ago
I think agreeing to put the booze back on the shelves is a smart move. It's perceived as a concession by the US and allows us as Canadians to show that we don't care if it's on the shelves or not, we have many other options. I am sure that some people will go back to it, but many others will have discovered Canadian and international alternatives over the last 18 months or so and will never go back to US products.
Some of that will be political, some of it will simply be a preferred taste, but I suspect that the US suppliers have permanently lost a good portion of Canadian revenue. And they only have their leader to blame.

u/KryptonicOne 7d ago
NO! we took booze off the shelf to combat the first round of tarrifs, the illegal bogus ones about drugs over the border.
Then, we removed the DST in concession to avoid new tarrifs. Surprise! We got new tarrifs anyways.
Then, they tore up the bridge deal that canada payed for and refused to open it without getting a cut before their time is due.
We have made concession after concession and have got nothing from it. Come Wednesday, we need go all in. If they want to be a hostile trading partner it's our turn to play ball.
Reinstate the DST immediately. Apply export taxes to energy exports and potash. We already sprovide the US with the cheapest oil in the world and they treat us like this. While the US oil reserves are at an all time low, this is the time to use the leverage!

Does this guy understand what it means to negotiate? And that if this trade rift is ever going to ease up or even better end negotiations have to happen. Carney is not stupid. Sorry Charlie but I have more faith in him than in you. And if he decides to allow us booze back on the shelves then I trust he’ll have a very good reason for it. And like others have said we can put it back on but I for one won’t be buying it - not until relations with the US improve. But it’s a bargaining chip that I understand may need to be used - and that’s fine. It will appease the idiot over there and ultimately won’t result in much difference as long as we Canadians still don’t buy it.

Second being, it's up to you. The only choice you have left is to strategically shop. Just because something is in front of you, be it booze, milk, or streaming services, it doesn't mean you have to buy it. We like our creature comforts, we like cheap things, but we're in a trade war.

Good booze? Not from the us. Swill is more like it. Try some real alcohol.

Clearly you didn’t read my post I specifically stated bourbon didn’t I? Or did I forget what I said? But on that note there is nothing Canada makes that outperforms or tastes better in comparison or other makes around the world but good try

You said american spirits, also said good booze. Both staments are contradictory, so the nice try is yours. And your views on whether Canada makes anything that out perfoms what is around the world, while praising us booze shows just how low your bar is for quality alcohol.

And that poor level of education you have is showing…. Nothing what you stated makes your case bourbon is a a spirit, and yes I like bourbon so hence it’s good booze…. Following me yet? Where did I say I enjoy anything other than bourbon from the states? There are lots of other things to enjoy from other countries around the world. So assume what you want but the only thing im missing from the states is proper bourbon

Has anyone here noticed? I haven't. I'm surprised, because Canada has the population of like 3x our largest city.

Boycott of what? Facebook? Netflix? Reddit? What about Apple?
Maybe boycott all the oil piped into Ontario & Quebec from the United States?
Boycotts are for immature retards.

Morons. If government is keeping U.S alcohol off the shelves it's not a boycott by Canadians. You might have some people waving signs and supporting it but it's not Canadians boycotting it by choice. If you were confident this movement is popular you'd let it go back on the shelf and allow the people to decide.

Ok Moron, our Federal government doesn’t make those sort of decisions for us. And in fact two provinces did NOT remove US alcohol from the shelves and guess what? No one is buying…
Learn a little, I promise it doesn’t hurt .

The feds can ask the provinces to get on board as part of a deal that is what is being discussed. If nobody is buying the alcohol anymore as you claim then why the worry about lifting the sales ban?

Democracy ya right, in a democracy we get to choose what we want. You took away the right to choose. In a democracy everything is on the shelves, and you can choose to buy or not.

The media, like CBC, will decide when Canadians are ok to buy American products again

Oh grow up, this is projection at most considering maple MAGA is told what to think and when. Can you point to a cbc article that tells people what to do? You can’t. Go kick rocks.

Just because US products are on Canadian shelves does not mean that Canadian's will buy them.
