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.

    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.
