boo hoo
I’m now crying in my beer*.

Sorry California. You’re still America.
But also, it’s not just about boycotting the US, it’s also about supporting the Canadian economy to strengthen our country, given our next door neighbor is a demented lunatic, with apparently still tens of millions of supporters.
So yeah, no.
But hey, if you want to secede and use all that sweet economic clout of yours to create Cascadia, you can have all that business back. If it means that much to you.
Cascadia sounds amazing. Sure wouldnt mind being back on reasonable terms with Canada either.
As an american, I say to you: Elbows Up, Canada! We’re sorry about our government being assholes to you. I know many good canadian people. You guys are on the right side of history in this battle (except the weirdos in Alberta).
Sorry it isnt the government it is the people. This government didn’t come out of nothing.
You are correct, friend. We have quite the struggle on our hands over here. Just my luck, I became a citizen in 2025.
um, welcome fellow citizen of Us-rael. You can vote in our elections now, congrats. Dont forget to pay your taxes, those bombs are really not cheap. I hope you got all your health care handled before you changed citizenship.
As a Canadian elbows are at a cool 30° right now, not everything is peaches and cream on the liberal side of the rainbow.
Yeah, a secession for the less-insane states sounds pretty good. Tho the red (read: non-coastal) parts could fuck on off with Idaho and Nevada.
This is totally unfair to Colorado. You can’t leave us with these nutjobs.
Don’t worry the California Imperium can annex you guys once we get done with the Mormons.
Idaho racists first, they will absolutely need to be thoroughly taken care of. Mormons we can probably just build a wall to keep out.
You’d better be true to your word. We will probably lose most of our democrat population to emigration before that happens.
Well worst case scenario it gets resettled.
Oh, wow. Genius plan. If the flatlander states aren’t completely toxic and ruined, they could be resettled as soon as the Cascadian and NewColonial state groups repair their economies enough to begin allowing new membership applications and setting up proper accessible care and prevention.
… and dirtbag richbitch reparation suits. They’ll pay for proper healthcare and rebuilding now with their tax money, or in a courtroom later.
Well I was figuring that most of the great planes will probably depopulate due to trade collapse. Not necessarily due to ecological issues but s second dustbowl is always possible I suppose.
If there was some kind of secession crisis I feel like CO would be the most fucked state for sure. Surrounded on almost all sides. Although most of those states are low population so who knows what might happen…
Make your own nation. Let’s trade.
We need to get the native American leaders back to sort this nonsense out and reestablish some order and civilization.
I agree! We need to find a way to join up. Maybe move enough Democrats into Nevada and Utah to form a bridge to California.
Honestly, if just enough Democrats moved into just the right amount of states, we would easily overpower the crazies and bring things back on track.
Although, you see movements like in Illinois where the vocal minority sitting on lots of land want to secede from Chicago. You know, where all the people are and where all the money comes from…
Start exterminating Nazis and we’ll talk
While you guys just walk away? Thanks a lot.
There’s vast swaths of those less-insane states that are just as insane. Flyover PA, upstate NY, eastern Oregon and Washington, southern Illinois, and central California
Yeah, it’s just a list of states sorted by population of the largest city
Nope, even in blue states there are more than enough Trump supporting Republicans, that are to blame for all of this.
Right, which is why I addressed that in my comment.
Those less insane States still voted for tump like 45%.
Nope.
Love hearing about this every once in a while. It’s a nice reminder that Canadians aren’t as powerless as the US would like us to believe
Thank you for hurting us. I really mean it.
Did we say you could speak? Your answer will be “No mistress”.
No mistress.
America won’t fucking learn until the wealthy are materially affected. We’re not quite there yet. So far the hurt is only on working class people, but like half of them still support the regime. Maybe the gas crisis will knock some sense into us. Probably not.
The boycott is about Canadians being well aware that Americans have no ideology, they only care about money, so don’t give it to them.
The bad news for USA is that this is already habituated, we won’t be going back.
Well don’t be a nazi once and see what happens. All Republicans should be put down
I’d be okay with marooning them in the Pacific garbage island
The British already did that, please not again. Thanks, Australia.
All Republicans should be put down
Fate is never so merciful.
Maybe stop relying on fate and fucking do something yourself
Fuck Adam schiff. These wineries are what rich people do when they get bored just being socialites. Or they are generational wealth that has manifested in these vines.
This hurts immigrant labor in my state, deeply, it would be the only worry I have IF TRUMP WASN’T MURDERING PEOPLE IN THE STREETS BECAUSE THEY UNLOCKED THE CHEAT CODE OF PUTTING YOURSELF DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE.
Frankly if all your energy isn’t put into stopping that shit Adam, then what the hell is the point, Canada should continue to ethically boycott the country.
They unlocked the cheat code of lying. They’re not even actually putting themselves in front of vehicles. They’re not that brave.
Not that it matters - the fascists loooooove being hypocrites - they revel in it - but…
Remember how the wingnuts were positively giddy about the prospect of being permitted to run over protesters if they felt “threatened” (meaning, someone was blocking their car)? You had cops sharing memes like “All Lives Splatter” and people putting that sticker on their car, wearing the shirt, etc., gee what a knee slapper that is, hardy-har-har, what a great “dad joke” that is you guyzzz.
Because, you know, blocking traffic is the real threat to people’s lives, etc., how dare they, of course you should be able to run over protesters.
But in the case of ICE, you have unidentified, armed, and masked men, and, now, it is they who should be able to jump out in front of a car, and are supposed to be able to murder someone in their car?
The only thing that is even remotely consistent here is which side the conservatives are on. Just imagine if liberals started passing bills to make it permissible to run over an ICE agent if you felt threatened, and then, liberal politicians started sharing the equivalent of “All Lives Splatter”?
Can you just imagine the meltdown from the right, as well as the Murc’s Law Media?
Reveling in being a hypocrite is just so fucking accurate. The act hurting any person you perceive to be against you, especially at the cost of your integrity. Because your opponent cares about integrity, and that’s just another place you can hurt them.
A few drinks won’t change anything, Canada still consumes US sports and everyone is buying trucks, regardless of gas prices.
Given that these wineries are likely owned by rich ass conservatives in my state. Good fucking job.
Great!
Even they lift the ban people are choosing not to buy American in Canada. It may not even help at this point
I live in the US and actively avoid US products as well. No reason to reverse those habits that i can see.
Fuck us. Fuck us hard, Canada. We deserve it.
Eu, no, thank you.
If you vote idiots in who shit on your allies, expect them to shit back on you.
Why don’t you write a DM to your president about reconsidering his trade war?
A Democratic U.S. Senator has taken to social media to urge Canada to reconsider its boycott on American alcohol, specifically wine from California.
In a post on X, California Senator Adam Schiff
I really wish we had an opposition party
Schiff should be campaigning to influence the people that started the trade war and continue to threaten the USA’s traditional allies and trade partners. Those people are in the US Government, not in Canada.
And Meredith Lilly sounds like a traitor, who is also pressuring Canada to back down and make life easier for Trump.
Meredith Lilly, who worked as an advisor to former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, believes the provinces are “overstepping their jurisdiction” with the ban.
The Carleton University professor and Simon Reisman Chair in International Economic Policy says she expects there are a number of conversations happening behind the scenes and hopes the federal government is pushing to get booze back on the shelves, and that provinces are listening.
“International trade negotiations are a federal responsibility, not a provincial responsibility, and so it’s my view that the provincial premiers should be working collaboratively with Ottawa and taking signals from Ottawa about what would be the best approach,” she told CTV News.
She says the trade irritant has “become quite a personal issue” for American officials on the file, including United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
“It seems like this is one of the measures that could be taken quite easily to move the conversation forward in a more constructive way,” Lilly said.
We need a Zohran Mamdani party
It’s a luxury item. I just can’t find any sympathy.
Is all alcohol a luxury item then?
Yes.
Yes 🤷♀️
I’m not trying to be antagonistic but I’m sorry you have such a black and white view on this.
When is alcohol not a luxury? You don’t need it to live.
In fact, I’d argue a society devoid of alcohol (with no knowledge of it) would probably be safer and happier.
If you’re living a bare bones existence it’s the little things in life that make it bearable.
Maybe alcohol is why some people are living in a bare bones existence.
Getting drunk to ignore your misery isn’t going to improve things.
Yeah, and if you want the boycott to stop, petition your government, because they’re the reason Canadians are boycotting American goods to begin with!
Anything short of violence will not move the needle
