Boycott, eh? US exports of liquor and wine to Canada have plummeted by more than 60% in the first half of the year as furious Canucks snub American booze because of President Trump’s trade war.
Shipments of popular US-made whiskeys, rums, gins and other liquors through June to Canadian provinces was around $43.4 million, according to the Distilled Spirits Council — a 62% drop from the approximate $114 million during the same period last year.
Wine exports have suffered even more severely, falling approximately 67% based on federal trade statistics provided by the US trade group. The data was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Canadian provinces, which control most alcohol importing and distribution in the country, have replaced popular American brands on store shelves with local alternatives after Trump slapped the northern neighbor with a 25% tariff on US imports.

In a related story, the DTs are exploding all over Canada.
They can have all of the Butt Light they want.
They have easy access to Molson Golden; it’s not clear what appeal any of our domestic beers have to them.
Anyway....
Canada is just following America’s lead in drinking less these days. Canadian fury is an oxymoron anyways. :)
Canada Dry?
On the plus side I’m seeing impossible to get bourbons finally showing up at my stores…
Woo hoo! More for me!
Ah. Very good. 👏 👏 👏
“Canada Dry?“
LOL!!
there are a maximum of 23m adult Canadians who drink alcohol.
meanwhile, there are 173m adult Americans who drink alcohol.
if all Canadians drank American booze, and suddenly stopped, it’d be a ~10% drop in sales.
nothing in the scheme of things
I’m not sure which is worse ;)
Boycott because we want something close to equal tariffs? A bunch of entitled scumbags.
Well played !
Anti-freeze, eh?
well they can go hiking and camping instead of drinking.... oh never mind.. they can’t do that either... who gives a “f” what those beta males and communists want or don’t want...
This is going to hurt since FOX has been announcing all day that 90% of Americans have stopped “abusing” alcohol. I don’t know what the illegal alien subhuman invaders are going to do to that statistic once the deportations stop.
I can guarantee that, for the most part, the illegal invaders weren’t buying top shelf liquor.
At the get-go, our pathetic Ontario CINO premier Ford withdrew all US wines and liquor off of our state run liquor store shelves. A lot of US beer like Bud and Pabst is produced here under license. I miss my bourbon.
