Shelves that held bottles of Kentucky bourbon, Jack Daniels whiskey and Bacardi rum are sitting empty at government-run liquor stores in B.C. Sunday – where bottles of booze have been replaced with signs saying, ‘Buy Canadian Instead.’
The move follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order that imposed 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods.
Premier David Eby, in response, pledged to pull American liquor off the shelves and said provincial stores will stop purchasing it. The premiers of Ontario and Quebec have done the same.
Good. Pull everything American
I’m American.
Meet me behind the dumpster in 15 and I’ll give you a pull.
Well that escalated quickly
It de-escalated in a few seconds as well
How dare you. My record is 3 minutes and 12 seconds!
We’re talking about my car that won’t start. Right…?
Well now this sweetens the pot. Can we get a side order of maple syrup?
I’d offer to pull you, but I don’t know you like that
Thanks. Just the thought is very considerate!
Would love to see the same from the Albertan government, but I’m sure Smith is on her knees with her mouth agape for that slimy orange load.
You’re not wrong, but I could have happily lived never reading those words in that order. Pretty sure I took at least 10 points of psychic damage.
I think you should roll again.
And then add it.

A few other word choices and it might have been a power word kill instead
“Ready to Zuck”
Can confirm a bunch of stuff’s been pulled. So far it’s just a few brands though. That’s Maker’s on the bottom, so Kentucky bourbon as a category hasn’t been pulled (yet?).
Asked them how people have reacted and they said they’d thought many would be really pissed but the reaction’s been nearly universal support.

In summary, top brands from red states are not only being pulled from shelves, but orders by hospitality and independent vendors are on hold.
Other brands from red states are not being imported, it’s while current stockpiles last.
Bacardi is Cuban?
It may have started in Cuba but it isn’t anymore.
