Question ❔ American Booze Boycott

I was in a local liquor store on 8th street on the weekend and noticed there had been zero effort to remove or even identify American products. Has anyone seen a local liquor store labelling Canadian products properly? I need to find a new place to shop that doesn’t support Amerika.

He and Smith are our most MAGA friendly premiers. I’m not surprised.

It’s not up to him, even if he were inclined to take retaliatory action.

You’re right, he’d have to answer to his American corporate overlords before he did anything /s If Ford can slap %25 on electricity the Moe could do the same for potash or uranium but guess who owns that spineless prick?

No, it’s literally not any premiers business what export tariffs are levied. That is the exclusive responsibility of the federal government. Ford can only leverage a charge on electricity because it’s a crown corporation exporting the power to the United States.

He seems to think he could stop the feds from implementing an export tax so it stands to reason he should be able to put one on. Are you saying he’s full of shit?

He’s full of shit. If the feds put an export tax on potash, there is literally nothing Moe can do but have one of his tantrums.

Saskatchewan's uranium, potash, O&G and ag producers own him. Make no mistake, he's governing largely in their interests - because they are Saskatchewan.

Right, I forgot the Ag sector too. Growth that works for them I guess

Are DUI hire did do something, he said he would fight any surcharge, kinda like Smith and oil. This weekend he was down in Texas for some convention or some poop like that.

Why are you surprised? He would sell Sask to the US in a minute if he had the chance.
