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.
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.
“Your country is so small and weak you might as well have a mayor instead of a real government. We should and will annex you because we can”
“Why are you offended, that seems weird”
Yes, nationalism is weird, why do you identify with the Canadian government? I sure as hell don’t identify with America’s actions.
If another country was threatening to invade your home, would you take joy in that?
I mean my home is also the evil empire pillaging the rest of the world, so if I believed them, on some level, yes.
But no, I’d laugh at them because of how absurd it would be.
We don’t have that luxury.
So maybe don’t tell us we’re weird about our own nationalism/patriotism when said evil pillaging empire threatens to pillage us?
Have you seen how big and white Canada is? There’s not going to be an invasion or even drone strikes.
Canada has been helping us the whole time, I’m going to be even more flippant when Britain and the EU’s economies are next to be sacrificed to maintain the rate of profit.
Assuming you don’t work for Bombardier, neither of us has benefited from the spoils of empire.
as someone from a country who’s had its stride with far-right cronies, i believe we should take their words at face value, lest we end up having some big trouble to deal with. so yes, canadians, mexicans, chinese, panamanians, greenlanders should follow their palestinians’ counterparts and start making at least some molotovs just in case. if you 'muricans don’t want to end up in a mess, you should topple the annoying orange and the space karen now, not wait 4 years to do so. you’ve already made things dangerous enough for us all by not putting him in jail when you had the chance.
Go on back to reddit, troll
You have the empathy of a snail.
There absolutely are Americans who get insulted when you make fun of Trump, you can meet them at any Trump rally. I’d also point out, Trump insulted the PM and the entirety of Canada.
OK, excepting the weirdo MAGAs, but I assumed the Canadian equivalent wouldn’t be on Lemmy. Do they even have internet in Alberta?
I’d imagine Alberta has a better grid than Texas. 0 celsius and the entire state goes dark
Probably, I just assume any right-wing weirdo would live there because of the confederate flag pickup trucks.
Funny thing, I just looked this up this morning. Texas is actually 47% Democrat and 38% Republican, but their gerrymandering is controlled by the GOP and drawn to hugely suppress the Dem vote. They are basically the poster child for suppressing the will of the voters.
Texas also gets its reputation from a sort of zealous immigrant effect. People who move to Texas are more likely to embrace a new identity of their perception of Texans. So you get people who moved to Texas 2 years ago and go around in cowboy hats and talking with a ridiculous accent, further reinforcing Texas’s reputation, even though those people are an extremely loud minority.
