Canada’s biggest province said it will remove American products from its government-run liquor stores as part of its response to President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian imports.

Mexico and Canada should ban all US made movies, and add a 25% charge on Netflix, and others who supply such services. When its costing them $, they will soon turn on Trump. Slam a 25% tax on Telsa too.
I’d be more targeted, hit small to mid sized companies with large exposure to Canada and links to Republicans. A tariff on Netflix would hurt Canadians more than Americans
I'd prefer to see retaliatory tariffs that target US red state exports to Canada. The people that support cheetos-lips and the rest of the GOP need to learn they should never vote in that direction again.
This ban hurts many red states because the majority of hard alcohol is produced in the south.
Thank you for standing up to our new dictator. Sadly, we intelligent Americans are having to rely on foreign leaders to help punch back against this moron that at least half our own leaders have no back bones to do. Half of our congressional leaders and governors are bought and paid for.
That’s an easy choice. Cancelling the $100 million Starlink deal would show Ford means business. Never should have trusted Elon after his Trump support all campaign. Doug is not a good leader & needs to be losing his job this month.
Oh he’s very good at backing down. After wasting oodles of cash & time & energy & resources on bad ideas from the get go. Wynne consulted, researched, negotiated ideas & contracts which I truly miss. Then DoFo cancels them without a care, listens to lobbyists & signs up then reverts with public ire.
Thank you to you and yours for the brave and sane responses to the US invasion of oligarchs and madmen who are dismantling our democracy, economy, and human rights.
Defend your democracy!
I agree. With the exception of Alberta that is run by MAGA Smith who just returned from kissing Trump’s fat, saggy ass at Mar-A-Lardo. He told her to F off, she’s not his type - probably.
Soon it will happen on every country that the Orange Moron decides to impose tariffs on...! The idiot thought that everybody would bow to his demented rants and accepted what he wants... No, foreign relations doesn't work that way...!
It's going to be hard for the American people though...
😒
This is how Americans treat their best friend and ally. Imagine the message that sends to the world.
The planet significantly changed forever, today.

Of course, but why pull products that are already paid for? The spectacle of dwinding supplies and no more orders following that is more impactful. Natural consequences are more meaningful and appear less petulant than just pulling items off shelves.
American here…specifically Massachusetts….Canadians please tell your parliament to take New England states. We don't want this fascist. This area is consistently a leader in logic. Please help us. (also we deserve so much worse than our liquor removed 🥺)
Canada should seriously look at joining the European Union. Our neighbour, ally and friend has now turned against us for reasons that make little sense, which is an actual description of the dictator currently in charge in the US.
countries in Europe that are not yet in the EU would be angry that Canada jumped over them so it's a non starter. Also EU is a mess given it's run by consensus with too many cooks. Hungary is showing how that doesn't work. Therefore maybe EEA would be better, but certainly not full EU.
We need to start the process and build new alliances. If anything this shows us we cannot rely on US. We should have done this long time ago. But here we are and we need to start. No one's saying to jump the line in EU but we need to start the process
For example before this crisis from some years there was a notion of CANZUK, a union of Canada Australia New Zealand and UK due to our past. Some issues of white focused but most of us are fairly multicultural these days. However CPTPP joins these nations into a group of 12 so trade union exists now
Maybe Americans who now have no other resolve than to reach for the bottle due to the catastrophic mess their government is making will be able to compensate. Make Alcoholism Great Again!
I support Canada's response to cheetos-lips. Question though: In several states in the US, the state runs and is the only entity that can distribute hard alcohol, is this the case in Canadian provinces? Does this mean the American products become totally unavailable in those provinces? Hope so.
Please they need to stop buying anything we make or export! It can only aid us in ridding our government of this Mango Mussolini and his DollarStore Gestapo.
Our governments will keep their response to dollar for dollar and aimed at red states. That’s the diplomatic response we need.
On the other hand, a lot of ordinary Canadians are going to do exactly what you suggest and reject US made products and services. Can’t trust you.
I was hoping he might close the Welland Canal to US shipping. Interruption of the US power grid is something discussed but 🇨🇦 morality would avoid that as it would affect hospitals and home health services. 🍊Maniac, was the Niagara power station in the US, would salivate over the possibility.
As an American I 100% support this and all future removals. And don’t stop once Trump relents. Build out better trade channels with EU and other countries. If America’s new regime wants to be isolationist, let them.
Now that's what I'm talking about! Do not throw it away though save it up to use as Molotov Cocktails on all the red States! Tariff the United Red States of America 200% and we will still buy your products here in California! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Canada sent pilots to defend Britain during the Nazi blitz. It sent soldiers on D-day to free Europe from Nazism. Anyone who thinks Canada will bend the knee to any fascist tyrant - including an orange blowhard from Queens, NY - should think again.
American jobs will suffer but I support every country that stands up to Donald. Americans are bound to feel the pain caused by the narcissistic ignorant felon who doesn’t have a clue.

Canada looks a lot more prepared towards Trump’s tariffs than … Trump …😳?
Feeling smart!
