Tomorrow, September 29th, the U.S. ban on most Canadian alcohol imports begins. [XO Link]
Last year most Canadian provinces banned U.S. alcohol imports as part of the “Elbow-up” program triggered by Prime Minister Mark Carney in response to U.S. baseline tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos. In early September of this year, the White House and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer responded with an import ban on Canadian alcohol that begins tomorrow.
The Crown Royal brand of Canadian Whiskey will not be impacted as it is shipped in bulk raw liquid to the U.S. where it is bottled, packaged and distributed. Diageo Inc proactively saw something coming in 2025 and shifted its supply chain to avoid the conflict. However, most Canadian brands of alcohol are not as fortunate. [SEE BAN SECTOR LIST]
The Supreme Court ruled last year that while tariffs against products can -under certain conditions- be subjected to congressional approval, but when it comes to trade friction – bans of products outright are legally within the power of the President. This ban on Canadian alcohol will impact approximately $854 million (usd) in imports. (SEE STORY).
It will be interesting to see if any last-minute intervention takes place.
Since my use of alcohol is extremely low, this action will have no affect on me at all.
In fact, didn’t I read somewhere that alcohol intake in the USA is diminishing yearly?
Many health gurus claim there is some correlation between heavy alcohol use and dementia, and a lot of us seniors are scared of dementia.
Not me… but those huge bunnies guiding me around all the time is very disorienting.
So Harvey has been at your house lately! I’d been wondering.
Alcohol is a poison. Plain and simple.
“Moderate” say the pushers.
lol
I just visited a new store called ‘Moderation’…
They have everything in there 🙂
ALL GOOD! I’m more or less done with alcohol except for cooking which is quite minor and doesn’t require anything from Canada. Maybe this might produce “the sads” for some, it touches me NOTHING at all at this point. The older I get, the more what I take in matters. It “sucks” to be plain about it but for some reason I’m not missing alcohol AT ALL.
“Tomorrow, September 29th, the U.S. ban on most Canadian alcohol imports begins.”
I’ll drink to that!
Canadian used to mean something. Now it’s just a faceless, culture-less polyglot of leftist consumers of government stuff, like every other generic globalist node in the world.
I’m certain the slush heads, as well as moderate sippers on the Hill will have plenty to disagree with.
Make Vermont Maple Liquor great again.
And purchase it from Larry, his brother Darrell or his other brother Darrell. They will give you free PROMO Codes to stay at the Stratford Inn.
Who still drinks canadian swill anyway?
I don’t drink.
However, I’m sorta having fun trying to figure out what a Canadian equivalent to The Dukes of Hazard would look like trying to do whiskey runs…..
Maybe they could use some of those imported Chinese battery cars instead of the General Lee!
Oh CaANNaDAA.
Plenty of other alcohol to choose from here in the good ole’ USA.
I’m sure Americans aren’t afraid to switch to something that supports the USA.
Liquor stores are FULL!
Woe Canada! Just one of many such actions as things ramp up I am sure.
I’d love an app that shows me how to avoid any and all support of any Canadian service or product.
I checked the ban list…and fyi? Prune Wine???
Uh…yeah…NO!
And Charlie’s brand is safe…is from ‘Dancing Goat Distillery’…the drink follows…
And for the cheese dip…
Methinks the TDS-addled Maple Sheeple are digging in for a long war. 🤪
Here’s the latest Libtard-owned pollster’s take on the national mindset:
🤯 😭 🤮 😡
I live right next door to the top moonshine producing county in the US of A,,,,,so if I drink, I always drink local
