US Tariffs, Sigh!

[JamesLam]

From what I heard, at least for Ontario... It's like a consignment, and all the liquor got sent back.

I believe BC sold all of it and just didn't do any re ordering....


I'm sure every province is different. I agree, sitting on it if it's paid for is dumb, it doesn't prove a point or accomplish anything.


Just googled it... Looks like Ontario alone sold 1 billion dollars of us alcohol in a year... All the stats I see are that Ontario accounts for most of the US sales ... I guess Ontario people like to drink!

Im sure that 1 billion is getting pumped into Canadian products.... People who drink don't just stop drinking. So LCBO doesn't get hurt, the people don't get hurt (except they drink shittier bourbon I guess?), seems like a win win for Canada.... And it seems to be hurting the USA bourbon economy if a lot of them are going out of business.


Whether it's accomplishing pressure on trump to lower the tarrifs or not.... It doesn't seem like it. But even so.... I guess Canada first? Pump the billion in sales to Canadian distributors vs American, even if it isn't accomplishing its goal of Tarif reduction, at least it's helping the Canadian economy.

I believe all of the Ontario stock of US booze has been warehoused. Still here, just aging to perfection.

During most of the first two years of COVID the U.S. had about a twenty times higher death rate per capita than Australia, so it's hard to argue that the quarantine center wasn't effective. The Omicron variant wasn't quite as coroporative.

You guys are much harder than we are. Started COVID off in much better shape with the running and fighting off all the critters down there trying to eat you.

Covid was gone in a couple of weeks and my uncle taught the unibomber in college at MIT long before we all knew he was the unibomber. My uncle died before the world knew who the unibomber was, but my uncle knew him. When will healthcare be great again? When is 'infrastructure week,, who lost out on Medicare, or Medicaid, or USAID?
