Canada and the U.S. have since agreed to launch formal discussions to review their trade agreement

I don't think that's gonna make a difference anymore. Reverting the 2025 decisions will not revert things. The sentiment has changed among the common people.

The funniest thing is that 'all American' Jim Beam is owned by Suntory, a Japanese company.

Cue the "I didn't vote for this" gomers...

Just what they voted for!

We don’t miss Yankee pisswater.

Only a year? Let's make it permanent Canada. Elbows up.

Are there still significant numbers of people that believe Trump understands the economy or are the minority morons just getting louder, with support from Russia? Were they always just 30-50% Russian as per the recent issue identified on r/conservative

No mention of the annexation threats and "51st state" rhetoric coming from the Trump administration, which I suspect is a bigger driver of the boycott than economic disputes.

Would it be that hard to show numbers on how much us consumption is down, and how much exports are down for this company?

News be trash.

Very happy that Canadians had a hand in helping this happen.

You voted for this!

I guess Kentucky is getting everything they voted for. I’m happy for them.

I love whiskey, but fuck Kentucky. It would take a lot for the morons there to figure out Trump and republicans in general are not helping them. They did elect a Democrat governor at least, so that’s a good sign.

Canadians, why were you drinking so much Jim Beam? Didn't you have a minimum quality level you'd accept? There were better Canadian options available in the US, why would you settle for that swill?

Anecdotal report from my area, but a retail worker I spoke with who works 2 jobs at a dollar gen and Walmart said this is the slowest holiday year they've seen since the pandemic.

"We will continue to distill at our [Freddie Booker Noe] craft distillery in Clermont and at our larger Booker Noe distillery in Boston, we plan to pause distillation at our main distillery on the James B. Beam campus for 2026 while we take the opportunity to invest in site enhancements.”

They're going to keep making the craft bourbon, and I suspect they could coast for a decade on the barrels they have in rack houses. Bourbon doesn't really go bad.

Canada sends it's regards

Jesus. So not only is trump directly hurting the American economy, he's destroying actual American culture. I would say this event just makes trump's literal destruction of the Whitehouse even more of an apt analogy of his relationship with America as a whole, but anything more than 100% is just excessive.

This seems to part of "making America great" (again).

So I know that Jim Beam is an entry level bourbon, and I know the story here is more about the tariffs and the relationship between the US and the rest of the world...

But genuine question: will 2027 Jim Beam be super good because it's aged an extra year?
