Some Canadian distilleries are making decent single-malts now based on Scottish methods, and others are making bourbon. Some of those are good, but expensive because they don't have the rep to create mass demand, so supply is limited. "Canadian" whiskey is rye, which is universally terrible.
The "Crown Royal" rye pictured above is actually really good, in my opinion. It's a brand that offers a couple variations too, like some more aged ones, or peach or apple-flavoured ones.
America and Canada both have vast amounts of natural resources but America ALSO has the industrial capability to go full self reliant if certain regulations were removed.
You cannot win a tarrif war with the US and seeing the currency markets with a dip in A LOT of currencies but a rise in the dollar, the market KNOWS this.
This is really dumb. Mostly because now the store is on the hook for all the alcohol that previously lined those shelves. That's potentially thousands in inventory. Per store.
If they're taking a stance in not selling it, then it's just sitting there in the back. They can't return perfectly good product, and the manufacturer isn't going to want to foot the bill to ship it back, so the stores end up eating thousands in product they won't sell just to make a point.
The stores are not on the hook. Alcohol in Canada is a government monopoly in most provinces, where inventory is ordered by the individual stores from a government-approved list of suppliers, then purchased by the provincial governments, distributed to stores and sold to consumers, restaurants and bars at set prices. Ridiculous prices. The government, and by extension taxpayers, will be on the hook for this idiocy.
That used to be how it is here in Ontario, but any convenience store or grocery store can sell alcohol now. You don't have to go to the beer store for beer, or the LCBO for wine and spirits.
Some of the regulation you're talking about still exists for restaurants and the like, but any person can buy alcohol in just about any store provided they are over 21.
True, but my understanding is the alcohol being sold is still distributed by the government: it's just that Ford gave other stores the right to stock and sell it instead of just LCBO and TBS. In the province where I live, supermarkets have a booze section, but they have to buy the stock from the same distributer that supplies our government-run liquor stores.
This is nothing more than the pathetic tantrum of a moronic, despised liberal who's being disposed of and is trying to take revenge on EVERYONE. Pierre will have to clean up the mess and restore Canada's integrity.
Pierre is just the other half of the coin. More mass immigration, more astronomical property prices, more DEI insanity, more WEF trash.
Canuckstan has been hijacked by people with the means and wherewithal. There is no hope for Canuckstan. It's small pods, insects and you-shall-own-nothing for the masses.

Pierre ''It's a pretty big honor for a small goy from the prairies to stand before you today'' Poilievre? That Pierre you're hoping to save Canada? Silly me, I forgot he's one of you, one for the people because he DESTROYS journo while like any cool guy does, eating an apple!!!
Of course now Canada isn't a "Post-National State" with a unique identity worth preserving 🙄 and patriotism is heccin based now that Trudeau needs it to be.
And Canadians are eating it the fuck up. I hate the fucking Redditization of the once Great White North.
I asked if 'Hire Canadian' would come back in style and well, you can all guess how that went. These idiots were bleating about boycotting our grocers for proce gouging, now their beating their chest with patriotic fervor to be ripped off by their countrymen.
Removed the American liquor.
We give you two choices comrade! Canada liquor or no liquor!
Canadian natives are about to be the healthiest they’ve ever been
Despite Aggressive Asian Immigration, Canada's GDP Has Seen No Growth in Over a Decade
That they already bought. JD already got their money!
Imagine how retarded you have to be that you're dumber than your brother who was literally addicted to crack.
Canadian whiskey is shit, for the record.
I was about to ask, isn't Canadian whiskey notoriously garbage for the record?

FAKE NEWS, MODS PLZ BAN
Yeah but Canadian Mist was like $3 a bottle back when I was a broke college student.
You... must be around my age.

Canada could, by and large, do that too. It wouldn't really take too long. But you (((know))).
It means to roll over and die and let your Indian neighbors control your country.
And continue to let Chinese buy up all your land and assets (an issue in the states as well)

Spirits too? I left Canada because of Covid, but pre-2020 it was only wine/beer in stores.
These are gov't run liquor stores, meaning the taxpayer already paid for the booze and now will have to pay to store it all on top of it.
Doug Ford is a retarded liberal change my mind.

Lol Milhouse won't do shit. He's simply a dorky, Trudeau Blue.
"WE'RE WHITE, WE DON'T HAVE A CULTURE."
Canada has no culture, right? So, how would we know what that is?
Anyway, vote PPC you silly gooses.
If I was Canadian and they forced me to drink only Canadian alcohol I would because teetotal instead.
Of course now Canada isn't a "Post-National State" with a unique identity worth preserving 🙄 and patriotism is heccin based now that Trudeau needs it to be.

Oh no, anything but my legal drugs! /s
I notice the Irish is still on the shelf.
Trudeau wants to make American whisky as hard to find as Scotch mist. The 'Winrar' is ewe Canadian Mist, plastic bottle and all.
But... I can see other countries' alcohol in the background... That have significant tariffs on them...

I made a good profit selling vodka to Canadians in 2023. Good times.
So basically just buy overpriced crap instead?
This is all so fake and gay.
Now I hate both Trudeau faggots and MAGA Zionist troglodytes.
