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.
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.

Cascadia sounds amazing. Sure wouldnt mind being back on reasonable terms with Canada either.
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.

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!

boo hoo
I'm now crying in my beer*.

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.
I'm not much of a wine drinker anyway, but this boycott made me discover Quebec's bubbly apple cider made with extra grape stuff in it. It's 9%, dry as a desert, and very refreshing.
Southern Ontario has several award winning wines, and they don't all taste identical like that Mondavi swill from California.
Anything flinty like a Chablis?
A few drinks won't change anything, Canada still consumes US sports and everyone is buying trucks, regardless of gas prices.
Meanwhile newscum is platforming fascists on his podcast and blocking the one time five percent billionaire tax. Also I should mention all these Epstein connected fascist anti democratic tech bros became filthy rich in California so the world should be angry at California for sure
Divided states of america's political caste being pieces of shit worldwide causing devastating harm to California wine industry.
ftfy.
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.

Given that these wineries are likely owned by rich ass conservatives in my state. Good fucking job.
He should be pleading to Americans, not Canadians.
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.
I promise, the ruling class in America could not give less of a shit.
Well, maybe if you paid them enough.
Fuck us. Fuck us hard, Canada. We deserve it.
Eu, no, thank you.
Great!
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.
