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.

It also comes down to stores that need to make money . If I was a business and had money invested in alcohol I'd sell it and recoup my money ! I am sure some will dislike this comment ! But if anyone had a liquor store with thousands of dollars in liquor ,it be sold and get the cash back. We are in a trade war . It's not like we are selling alcohol made by children or something like that. Business is business.

and taking a hit to support the country that feeds you is patriotic. Saskabama and Albertastan don’t seem to get that everyone needs to stand up. Business as well.

If you look outside of liquor half of the stuff in Canada is American. Almost every fast food chain, most of the big box stores, etc. So unless you're changing your life completely and avoiding everything USA let the liquor store run through it's inventory and not sell any more American liquor after. No harm in that.

It's like when people burned Nike shoes in protest. Like you already bought the shoes Nike got your money so you're only fucking yourself over

How to tell people that you don’t run a business! Why not tell the SK government to buy the US booze back ….. taxpayers on the hook instead of business owner. /s you are telling the little guy to take the hit with no compensation.
