I used to do a lot of camping and fishing in Quebec. Stunning scenery, awesome fishing. The last time I was there was for the 2005 Montreal Jazz Fest, had a great time. I didn’t notice any American beers being drunk, although they were available. Almost without exception the Canucks and foreigners were drinking either Labatt’s, Molson, or Moosehead. So, banning American beer would be just a small dent in American beer brewers profits. As far as cutting power, they may as well cut their noses also. The power companies would go broke. Ford is just another blowhard, have another drink, and go away.
I am not a great fan of Canadian large brewers. However, Canada as the USA has a thriving micro brewery business. These micro breweries turn out some fine Ales as do we.
I lived in the UK for a few years. When I returned home to the USA our beers really were bad, this was in 1980. With the advent of Micro Breweries we now brew beer the equal and better. The alcohol content of American Micro Breweries tend to be a little higher than the UK beers.
