I’d love to buy this man a bottle of (Canadian) whiskey

Song of the day: Bud the Spud- Stompin' Tom
Say aye for PEI. Just say no to Idaho.
My fellow Canucks are checking in with tales of defending our nation by purchases at the grocery store.
No USA products.
The resistance is here:
True. North. Strong. Free

OMG - I just realized where my odd pronunciation of "potato" comes from - my Atlantic Canadian step-family. 🥔

crparadis.bsky.social•20 days ago

I suggest this little less known piece by another Canadian artist. Pay attention to the lyrics. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0qsZsfn6PC4

shawnino.bsky.social•20 days ago

I grew up in that bright red mud.

Tom'd take care of your bottle with thanks.

thatwomanoverthere.bsky.social•20 days ago

May I recommend this excellent brand from Grimsby, Ontario?

My husband is Canadian and so many of his family up there are posting asking their fellow Canadians to ban any and everything made in the US.

After he wins this round maybe he will come show us how to defend ourselves.

I can get you his address George! He lives about an hour and a half south of me!!

George, if it’s Canadian rye, it’s spelled whisky… and thanks for your support! 👍🏻

janerabbit.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yeah. Can we vote for Charlie Angus??

sweetooth1.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yeah, reminds me of the sort of dual between Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Neil Young's "Southern Man" then Lynyrd Skynyrd's response to Neil Young with "Sweet Home Alabama".

iknowwhat.bsky.social•20 days ago

He is legendary and he is missed 💔

George he'd settle for a case of Keith's India Pale Ale, made in Nova Scotia.

joannvk.bsky.social•20 days ago

Or a ‘two fer’!

edumuriedas.bsky.social•20 days ago

And me, one of Herradura Reposado!😉

Go suck your wife.

'In the '80's; Charlie & friend Andrew Cash formed the band L'Étranger, holding music rallies to encourage others to get active in political change. At 25, inspired by a biography on Dorothy Day, Charlie opened a Catholic Worker House for homeless, refugees & men coming out of prison in dt Toronto.

snowybirdie.bsky.social•20 days ago

Had two dogs in the last 20 years. one was Bud the other was Spud!

the8tregirl.bsky.social•20 days ago

Charlie would be a GREAT guy to sit down with, gotta say
Tom died a few years ago, sadly. I would LOVE to hear what songs he would come up with about, well, all this mess.

gatenbyd.bsky.social•20 days ago

That is all you can buy in Canada this morning

zitronenjette.bsky.social•20 days ago

Forget Gretzky, O’Leary, D. Smith, Polievre, and the others, who wooed Trump. With every painful move, that Trump makes to crush our people and our beautiful country, the pride in our nation grows. Here’s another taste of how amazing we truly are.

Stomping Tom Connors. As an American attending school in Canada in the 70s, his song “Sudbury Saturday Night” is a distant memory of a bar anthem
Ouch

shawnino.bsky.social•20 days ago

Any song that rhymes 'Inco' with "Stinko" is never that faw away...

sdc-99.bsky.social•20 days ago

Tombstone Every Mile was seared into my childhood memory.

greatauntnancy.bsky.social•20 days ago

I will happily join you in that. Go Canada!

rocketdog3.bsky.social•20 days ago

We call the "rye" up here.

patriciacampbell.bsky.social•20 days ago

Charlie Angus is a national treasure❤️

naturalwanderer.bsky.social•20 days ago

Oh, you would like him. We all do eh.

existentialbread.bsky.social•20 days ago

I am proud to have voted for him for the last 20 years. It will be sad to see him go. He's the only politician I've ever trusted.

chazzcgb23.bsky.social•20 days ago

It can be arranged George, just not through Amazon.

level90.bsky.social•20 days ago

Will also be an opportunity to realise how average many of the US products (e.g. beer).

tourswag.bsky.social•20 days ago

That'd be "whisky" no E in Canada.

Canadian Whisky is a nice Rye

a small thing to know as our people will become closer in a common struggle

tourswag.bsky.social•20 days ago

and news that US Whiskey brands will be less available in Canadian stores, restaurants and bars

He’s the best!

guitarbry.bsky.social•20 days ago

I’ll chip in…let’s get him a case.

bobbisnur.bsky.social•20 days ago

yuck.

chargreen.bsky.social•20 days ago

I grew up in the province this song is about and saw Stompin’ Tom perform as a child. Pretty sure I still have his autograph somewhere. . .

raingod1.bsky.social•20 days ago

It is grocery day for us here in Canada. For the first time we checked every product to make sure it was not Made in USA. Canada ok, Mexico ok, Made in Colombia hurray even. This is the sad reality now for US farmers and producers. Loss of local markets which will potentially never come back.

hansfallada.bsky.social•20 days ago

Too late. He's been dead now for some time.

rockwils1.bsky.social•20 days ago

Oh Canada!

danielroy.bsky.social•20 days ago

Merci 🙏

blessedlife.bsky.social•20 days ago

I know this as I'm from the big red mud. It looks like we Canadians and you Americans must rise up against this fool. I know this, lots of people will only be satisfied if the government arrives at their door with a million dollar check.

bestone.bsky.social•20 days ago

Our friends and neighbours on doing this to us.

curmudgeon61.bsky.social•20 days ago

…unfortunately he passed in 2013. A true Canadian icon. 🇨🇦

vaross.bsky.social•20 days ago

I would suggest a bottle of blackberry crown, it’s quite good.

crosetti.bsky.social•20 days ago

I’ll kick in a buck or two with you!
