Jack Daniel's maker said Canadian provinces taking American liquor off store shelves was 'worse than a tariff' and a 'disproportionate response' to levies imposed by the Trump administration https://reut.rs/3XtHp32

I don't even care if they all stopped saying it. Without an apology, and evidence that things are going to change, that relationship is finished. So yeah. We're done.😐
Well then, Jack Daniel's maker should pressure Trump to drop his stupid and self-defeating tariffs on Canadian imports.
Use your corporate power and money to fund TV commercials blaming Trump for hurting US companies, workers and consumers, and urge voters to peacefully protest Trump & Republicans.
They band together behind the tax cuts for their businesses and their bank accounts. And of course the deregulations. I never imagined we would have so many willing to lose all integrity for stolen money.
"Use your corporate power and money to fund TV commercials blaming Trump for hurting US companies, workers and consumers, and urge voters to peacefully protest Trump & Republicans." Peacefully at the start but i hope nothing is excluded if it doesn't work
My people live near the small town where Jack is made. Been to the distillery myself many times. I'm sorry, but ya'll voted for this. I personally tried to warn my folks. Some flat out won't speak to me anymore. Told me I was fake news. Well, does it feel fake now?
It's not about tariffs, it's the president and senior administration figures saying they're going to invade our country while you sanewash them and lie about the root of the issue.
Maybe a lifetime of supporting fascism isn’t working out so well for late stage capitalists. If Americans weren’t a bunch of servile idiots we would crater Jack Daniel’s on our end too…
Let’s imagine there is enough information to assume that Canadian customers have reliably said they don’t want to buy a product. Should the store still be forced to carry the product? Maybe your quarrel isn’t with the Canadian consumer.

A disproportionate response to the Orange Felon trying to weaken our economy prior to violent invasion (which he calls annexation, a meaningless word when the inhabitants resist)?
Stop giving misinfo a platform-the US tariffs are illegal, Trump's 51st state threats are illegal. ILLEGAL
Please, those tariffs would only be illegal if a backpacks worth of fentanyl wasn't actually a national emergency, which it clearly... is... right... hmm...
Who fed you that misinformation? Last year's amount seized from Canada would fit in a AA battery. Why are you being shitty to your peaceful, respectful neighbour? Or are you shitty to everyone?
hey Jack Daniels, if you see a sign that says fuck all the way off, understand that sign is meant for you.
I am boycotting Jack Daniels (pretty easy as I don't drink but won't ever buy it as a gift either)
Crazy that there's plans to get rid of the Endangered Species Act and the National Historic Preservation Act but ohhh no the real thing that hero of the public Jack Daniels will decry is not being sold in Canada.
Well Jack, I think it’s pretty damn clear go see how much leverage your donation to #Trump / #GOP will get you in removing the tariffs otherwise guess you get ‘Jack Shit’ aye!
Tennessee is a red state. The Canadian retaliation is designed to hurt the corporations based in those Trump-voting states. From this reaction, it's clearly working. Brown-Forman laid off > 800 employees in January. They might have to lay off more.
GO CANADA!
It is “disproportionate” by design. If the USA, and its corporations, workers, et al., want a fair fight, they should join a boxing club. Canada street fights — when it has to do so — with no regard for anything but protecting ourselves fully. Everything else be damned. JD can cry all they want.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🇨🇦 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It’s more than the tariffs -
It’s the 🤡 💩 talk -
Americans wouldn’t stand for being taken as your 11th province and Canadians should disproportionately respond to stupid suggestions of being the 51st state
It’s your government. Do you think we only bombed the 33.1% of Germans who voted for Nazis?
You’re an anti-democratic state that sides with Putin and surrendered to the Taliban, with no consultation with the allies who wasted thousands of lives and billions in cash helping your disgraceful asses.
Trump Treatened our country with annexation. He wants to steal our resources and take away our country and the rights we have that Americans don't have (like healthcare)
You are giving up booze to fight back.
Take control of your own country if you feel you are losing it. That's your respinsibility
Boo hoo Lawson whiting. Canada has balls. Too bad you don't. Disproportionate response? No. Just Canada expressing their displeasure in a non violent way in response to our shit show president. Good for them. Americans should boycott your product just because you're a selfish crybaby.
We are furious with him and all the Republicans and psychophants who voted for him. Their jumping up and down and cheering for what he is doing makes us furious. We now think of them as terrorists that should be dealt with as such. We are a Sovereign Nation, Strong and Free.
Do they expect them to just ignore whats being done to their country? I am playing my very very small violin for Jack Daniels and anyone else who thinks they should be the exception. On second thought I need a smaller violin.
The only Canadian response I particularly dread is automotive as I work in a factory related to such and don't like the idea of losing money/employment.
Which- mind- is why I keep calling my Congress critter and leaving a, "This is stupid- you need to stop this" variety of messages.
Yup , sorry , will not buy any American products going forward . China ,Mexico or Canadian goods only for at least 4 years ..
**our stores are already marking these products so we can avoid US of R items !
American here & I'm rooting for the Canadians rn because this shit is fucking stupid. The tangerine tyrant has no fucking clue how anything works let alone tariffs. Give him hell, my northern brethren! I was raised in TN but fuck those bigots. Ditched American whiskey 15yrs ago. Jameson all day.🥃
Idiots don't realize it's not really the tariffs, it's what the tariffs are meant to do: wreck our economy. And no, it's not disproportionate.
None of us gonna go to bat for mediocre swill produced in states voting for Trump, by companies who throw minorities under the bus. Here, have some 🐆🐆🐆.
What did Trump expect? Slap Canada with 25% tariffs and think we’d just say, “Thank you, sir, may I have another?” Pulling U.S. booze off the shelves is just Canada’s way of returning the favor—cheers to that.
“Some very fine Canadians came up to me with tears in their eyes and said thank you sir, for offering to annex our sovereign nation”
The states that elected this POS Prez are to blame for ALL the atrocities being committed worldwide by kraznov and his klan🤬
Good one! #JackDaniels Let's see how 'disproportionately' NATO #Article4 Mexico, Denmark, Panama, Palestine, Ukraine & Greenland respond to your Fotus UXA's non-stop administration threats.
When Whiting says that they can withstand the hit, he is ignoring the fact that consumers in every country in the free world are joining the Canadian boycott.
Very true: In January the company announced it would lay off 12% of its global workforce, or about 650 employees, as it looked to cut costs. Net sales fell 3% to $1.04 billion from a year ago, compared to analysts' estimate of $1.07 billion, according to market data provider LSEG
Jack Daniel’s says that their bourbon is not being stocked/drank because of the tariffs. Neither Reuters or JD get it: it’s not the tariffs stupid,it’s the stupid man threatening our sovereignty.This is the 2nd bourbon tariff in 8 years,but the 1st boycott on US goods - because of the 51st state BS.
Not just the 51st State BS, but also threatening tariffs in February, then levying them again in March, and then telling us that "oh maybe we can meet in the middle and figure out some exceptions to the tariffs...until April, when we might do this again."
Hold republicans accountable because this is their mess - they've been working on this for decades and in all that time never figured out how stupid their selfish goals were.
As a British resident of Japan I'm hoping the mango shitgibbon will tariff UK and Japan too so that my countries can join Canada in the retaliation. I'm boycotting American anyway. Fuck those assholes.
Anyone outside the US should boycott American products. They aren't going to stop at Canada, or Mexico. Not if they get away with it. They will only be emboldened by the silence of everyone watching. That's what they're hoping will happen: everyone will duck their heads + say, it's not us. We're ok.
Nobody I know in Europe is buying ANY American goods. Quite a few have binned holidays in the States planned for this year as they are appalled by the Turd Reich.
We are really afraid to visit the US. a German woman was held in cusody for 4 weeks even though she had a visa. And nobody could find her. No, better go to Canada. Or Mexico.
It is a lot more than that. Canada is the largest international purchaser of JD and as a country it buys more product than any single customer inside or outside of America. They are definitely gonna notice the change.
Way to appease Canadians, eh? What a incompetent nincompoop. A smart CEO would reduce prices temporarily to keep the supply routes open and the product on the shelves.
Well, Jack Daniel is off the shelves at this house and we don't even pay tariffs. 😂
It doesn't matter if they reduced the price. Our liquor stores took their products off the shelves and refuse to sell it until Trump stops threatening our Country. No one can buy it here even if they wanted to. It's a store sponsored boycott, everyone is on board with adhereing to.
🇨🇦Jack Daniel’s Brown-Forman’s CEO , Lawson Whitling, I have a message for you:
YOUR President continuously threatens us with economic destruction.
Your attitude makes me not want to ever see a bottle of Jack Daniel’s again.
Ya happy now?
Tennessee whiskey is a fair choice to boycott because it targets a ruby red state represented by MAGA sycophant senators Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty who vote for everything Trump wants.
In most provinces the government distributor control all alcohol distribution in the entire province, and in at least 7 provinces ALL American liquor, wine, beer has been removed from sale. This means all restaurants, all stores, all pubs, all clubs... none will have American products at all.
Ontarios distributor, LCBO, for instance, is the largest single alcohol purchaser in the entire world, and they have removed ALL American alcohol from the entire system, which is around $1 billion worth of product.
I've been corrected, in some cases the product is being shipped back at the expense of the supplier (the company that makes the product) as per contract rules. So the american companies are not only losing business, but paying to lose business.
I was raised in TN (bailed for IL 17 yrs ago) but fuck those bigots & their terrible whiskey. I tried Jameson at 18 & never looked back. And while I do occasionally enjoy a KY bourbon, I won't be buying anymore. Irish Whiskey or Scotch only in this house.
Oh dear, too bad.
So sorry to hear you got a problem with it. But your shithead president started it.
Go talk to the cheeto-faced ferret wearing shitgibbon!
Better still, slap him around a bit.
Fuckers!
Yeah, I’ll be asking for it on my local cave though, asking them to stop selling US bourbon - so it’s handy to know what I can ask them to stock instead.
My final bottle of US bourbon is nearly empty.
Their response is unserious. How to alienate anyone who bought that product in Canada.
You know what's worse than removing a product from store shelves? Annexation. Annex-fucking-ation.
No response is too great to this BS the mango monster is trying to pull. The sane among us need the backing of the international community- thank you, Canada!

Fuck you Jack Daniels. Suffer. Fuck you.
Actually, if you're **really** looking to upset them, find a place that sells Cuban. Its doable.

Sucks to be american!
Use your corporate power and money to fund TV commercials blaming Trump for hurting US companies, workers and consumers, and urge voters to peacefully protest Trump & Republicans.
And to Jack Daniel’s, What she said^^
They have lots of power, money, and influence, and the First Amendment's expansive protection of political speech is under-utilized to date.

No I’m not.
Our president treats, our ally and neighbor like dog shit, calls them the 51st state and their Prime Minister, governor
If I were Canadian, I’d never buy American again if I had the choice given the amount of disrespect they’ve received from our imbecile in chief
Proof: they elected Agent Orange. Twice.
Signed all of Canada
Consumers reject your product. Their decission.
Try it improving your efforts and working hard. Everything is possible.
What the fuck are our priorities?
Get a real President, and we'll sell your life destroying liquor again.
#tradewar
Or they can push their state and federal representatives to put an end to these stupid, illegal tariffs.
Bad news, people are trying local products and in many cases finding the superior. For many of us buying US is done.
GO CANADA!
Jack Daniels is made in Moore County. KY.
In 2024, Moore County's residents voted for the orange shithead by 69 percentage points (83.7%—14.6%).
They shouldn't be surprised.
It wasn't as if Trump kept his tariff inanity a secret.
Lol if Mexico boycotts too they are in trouble.
Boo fucking hoo.
Canada has been threatened with invasion. Think about that.
Stopping buying stuff is not disproportionate. Withdrawing from NORAD would not be either. Neither cancelling visa-free status for US visitors.
FAFO
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

You have it bad, yes. But we aren't even close to being upset enough.
Totally apt...
Keep it up!
That's a consumer boycott.
Canada's got people all the way from the bottom of the chain to up on top saying, "Fuck this shit".
If I change a brand, I never go back.
Which- mind- is why I keep calling my Congress critter and leaving a, "This is stupid- you need to stop this" variety of messages.

Your president is hurting you.
Whiskey makers in America voted for this.
Proud to support Canada 🇨🇦
Jack Daniels is trash anyway.
LOL no - get. fucked.
This don't-buy-American movement is really satisfying because the execution is pointed and the effect is instantaneous.
English sparkling wines are pretty 🔥too these days 😀
I knew we were a country that can drink... but wow... 🤣
Well, Jack Daniel is off the shelves at this house and we don't even pay tariffs. 😂

They are worried about their profits when the president they probably supported (or didn’t fight against) is threatening 3 countries.
The only correct message from them and any other company, esp non-essential, should be “we hope that we can be in your glass again in the future”.
May JD et al get the leopards they deserve.
So sorry to hear you got a problem with it. But your shithead president started it.

You've let your constitutional weaknesses fester too long. Clean up your home and then maybe you can rejoin the civilized world.
