Maybe being a bag of dicks to the rest of the world wasn't such a great idea.

Not only will I not buy us booze if back on the shelves but I actively avoid buying any american products if possible and I will never travel there again in my life time. Fuck the pedophile and all who support him and the others who are full of apathy and avarice and sit idly by.
This like all the other trade that is disappearing to the EU is going to become a permanent change. Prior allies now view the US as an enemy and aggressor and are forming alternative routes of trade. This will not be returning just because the president is changed in the future. The relationship is over.
I can only hope that the US snaps back hard managing to show the world that there are still good people here...maybe after civil war 2 electric boogaloo
Unless there is a Nuremberg style trial for the current administration, I don't know how America can gain back it's trust.
Even if Americans elect a president that is super helpful/generous to allies, there is always the chance that they elect another Trump in the following election who basically has almost free reign to do anything they want with no consequences.
The constitution that Americans beat over everyone's heads has been revealed to be republican toilet paper.
Yeah, Trump has exposed how broken the American system is. He's exposed American as completely incapable, or unwilling, of preventing a criminal enterprise from running the country into the ground.
Most of the good people that don't just flee would be dead after a Civil War 2, leaving only proficient killers and crooks, or just cowards who keep their noses down. Large swathes of the country would be, for decades at least, one of "those places" that you never travel to and hear tales of barbarism from every now and then. Civil war would be a degradation, not a redemption arc.
Yeah that's what I think as well, because Trump is just a symptom of a larger issue, he represents a large percentage of americans, especially amonght the rich, he did not get to this position without the backing of these greedy fascist pigs who know they can use him to make a lot of profit at the expense of the common people, even when he's gone, these foreign nations still have to deal with these greedy sociopaths and their meddling in foreign affairs, not to mention the dumb voting public who might just back another little Nazi who makes them feel good about themselves
Aw, are Americans sad that they're being collectively judged and punished as an indistinct collective group?
... first time?
Maybe we should actually get our own house in order?
Just, you know, that?
That first?
No whining, no conditional explanations of layers and degrees of ... nah, just... actually geting our shit together?
Actually taking some accountability?
Good. Boycotts work. If any of you Americans out there are wondering how you can fight...boycotts work.
My neighbourhood grocery store and liquor store have both decided to stop stocking US goods.
I don't miss anything. As a Canadian, this is more important to me.
I'm from Maine and took a road trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia recently. I stopped in a licquor store (the LC) and jokingly asked the cashiers where the bourbon was. They got a good chuckle out of that one.
Rideau Whiskey may not say it's Bourbon on the bottle, but there's bourbon in the bottle. Because of some dumb laws you can't call it bourbon unless it's made a certain region in the US, sort of like champagne. So we actually do have bourbon, even if it's not called that.
Give it a gew years and we can maybe start repealing that legislation. No NAFTA? No more preferred trademarks.
Good, that’s the point.
Fuck Gretzky wines in particular.
"Put our booze back on your shelves! Also we don't care and we don't need you."
I'm trying to use as few american products as I can. It is nit easy as they have infected everyday life too much.
Not buying Nestlé is much simpler
false. the US administration is on record saying they don't need us.
do you doubt dear leader?
Canada’s boycott of U.S. wines ‘causing devastating harm,’
That's the point, dumbass.
If you want it to stop, talk to the clown in the white house.
This boycott wouldn't be happening if he didn't decide to threaten, insult and attack Canada.
Who could have foreseen this?
Oh, wait, we all could I'm sorry I have stroke nice doggy
California senators don't get to tell me what to buy. Framing it as a "boycott" is just wrong, at least where I live. We have American booze on the shelves. I just don't want to buy American garbage anymore so I'm not doing it.
Oh no, the boycott we initiated with the explicit intention of causing DEVASTATING HARM is causing devastating harm. Fie on intended consequences!!!
I'm a Californian and support the boycott. But the majority of comments in here are misguided.
This is like commenting on an article you haven't read about the First Minister of Scotland saying how negative Brexit is for Scotland, and responding "You shouldn't have voted Brexit then, dumbass!"
No shit. Probably why they didn't overwhelmingly.
Also kinda like how California has consistently, overwhelmingly, voted against Trump, and is one of the most oppositional states in the country against his fascist regime.
I feel bad for Americans who didn't have much choice in Trump being elected. However that is tempered by the fact that they are not inudating their congressmen and senators to get rid of Trump. They are timidly waiting for the next set of elections hoping that will change things although Trump has already meddled enough that even a landslide vote against him may not change a single thing. Write, email, text and phone your elected officials and tell them to get rid of him.
It's pretty simple. No complicated economic theory here. If you fuck around...
