March 5 (Reuters) - Jack Daniel’s maker Brown-Forman’s CEO Lawson Whiting said on Wednesday Canadian provinces taking American liquor off store shelves was “worse than a tariff” and a “disproportionate response” to levies imposed by the Trump administration.
Several Canadian provinces have taken U.S. liquor off store shelves as part of retaliatory measures against President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Canadians are steering away from U.S. goods, sports events and trips following the recent imposition of tariffs, which have left them stirred, despite the deep ties between the two countries.
Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.
Im pretty sure insulting our PM and threatening to annex us is worse but what do I know…
That wasn’t Jack Daniel’s! That was just their owners, their customers, Tennessee’s politicians, their voters, other red states…
Feeling insulted when the PM is insulted seems weird. Do you think Americans feel insulted when someone calls Trump a clown?
You’re not the guy who put tariffs on Chinese cars to appease the American car manufacturers, the US president calling him a stooge of America for doing his own bidding is genuinely funny.
It says right in the article, “Canada accounts for 1% of the sales…” So I’m not one to shit on good news but I don’t think days a problem for them. But that’s just Jack Daniel’s. Across the whole spirits, liquors, and wines industry definitely will add up.
If that’s true, why are they bitching?
That has real vibes of, “I don’t care if you break up with me, I have hundreds of girls ready to date me. Wait! Come back!”
“wow, if ain’t those the consequences of my own actions”.
They only have Trump to blame
I don’t know the guy’s politics, and I don’t care to know them, but if you have a super generic, easily replaceable export, you should avoid presidents who fuck around, because you’ll be the one who finds out.
I am but a lone Canadian, but I’ll not buy a single American product, especially not from red states, until Tangerine Palpatine leaves office or dies, whichever happens first. We make fucking fantastic whiskey right here in Quebec.
Tangerine Palpatine hahah I’m gonna steal that
Please do!
Maybe Jack outta have a talk with his boy Trump about why it happened.
