Victor Yarbrough, who is a small bourbon producer in Kentucky had been in talks to expand sales in Canada but with the Trump administration’s tariff war, ‘the whole Canadian growth strategy is now on pause,’ he said https://reut.rs/4kSqZLp

Trump is destroying capitalism. Why aren’t corporations more upset? Because they are international conglomerates. They don’t care about whether their businesses will survive. They can tank the U.S. economy like the banks did in 2008 and they still keep their bonuses. Trump is destroying free trade.
these are 3 black brothers living in Louisville KY who started their own distillery. I hope they can afford to open a distillery in Canada. remember there are many small family businesses who didn't vote for Trump who are victims of his insanity. https://broughbrothers.com/the-brothers/
We empathize yet its not our problem to fix. Remember there are many Canadian small family businesses hurt by the US gov't. We are looking after our own after an unprovoked attack on our economy. Its unfortunate but the relationship has changed. Actions have consequences
that is fine, but I am just letting white Canadians who are reveling in the misfortune of black Americans because their white neighbors voted for Trump is NOT the best look. as I said I would love if they could open a distillery in Ontario, I can't imagine Canadians would be bothered by that.
read other posters on this thread. now they might argue they didn't KNOW they were black because they didn't bother to read the article but that is no excuse. if you don't know the basic facts, don't comment.
nothing stopping him from producing the bourbon IN CANADA. he can open a distillery, hire Canadians, use his own recipe. it'd still be KY bourbon. this isn't moron Trump imagining we can build entire steel mills overnight
it is stupid he'd have to have 2 distilleries but what other choice is there?
🇨🇦🇺🇦🤔 Let me spell it out for Victor Yarborough:
Canadians didn’t ask for this trade war
Trump has disrespected us & it’s beyond “trade”.
You need to lobby McConnell & the other spineless GOP to rein Trump in-period.
Either that or keep enabling the prick!
We CANT sell due to PRIDE! 🇨🇦

It's not on pause. It's DOA. At this point, even if they didn't take it off the shelves, no-one would buy it anyways, and people would just get mad at the liquor store for having it there. I hope the idiots in Kentucky that voted for the shit-stain are happy. 🇨🇦
That's going to be a long pause even when this eventually stops. Canadians are starting new habits, familiarizing ourselves with brands from Canada and anywhere else in the world except Canada. Our children already want nothing to do with the US. This is a generational thing. Sorry! Vive le Canada🍁
Trump says America can survive on just America alone, so this small business will be outlasted by bigger companies, but First Lady Fat Donna understands a lot of Americans need to lose everything for his wealthy friends dreams of a North Korean isolated dream… just give up, y’all ready lost the game
I bought oranges today, the U.S. oranges are sitting on the shelf, products from other places are being sold. We will not be going back to buying U.S. products for along time if ever. #elbowsup #never51
Fun fact: CA consumers spend more on KY bourbon than any other state in the US. It would be a shame if CA stopped buying it as much. Those brands will have more to worry about if Trump and Elon keep fucking around. People are petty you know 😂
What's funny now is, all the calls in the world won't bring Canadian consumers back. Billions of dollars just evaporated from the US economy, because we've finally had enough of the dumpster fire. We're moving on.
From here, it's going to take a lot of time. I would expect generations. We've been reminded how different we are, in spite of things we DO share. A lot will have to change in the US, to make me feel differently. I'm definitely not in the minority. ✌️❤️🍁

Especially, when their bottom line is eviscerated.
Never had any intentions of retiring here. My thought process from a very young age. Already purchased our Caribbean home. No mortgage.
We will be relocating by year’s end.
America is just being Amerikkka.😑
