Correct me if I’m wrong Canadians, but I’m assuming there wasn’t a national mandate to pull American products off the shelves. This was a decision that individual businesses or companies chose to do, to not support our dumbasses over here in the states. You know, like every business chooses what to put on their shelves.
So in other words, shut the fuck up JD.
I never foresaw a future in which I’d have to determine whether someone was addressing a fictional doctor, a US vice president, or a liquor company.
The distribution of alcohol in Canada is handled through province-level agencies (like states in the US). Most premiers (like governors in the US) ordered to stop distributing US alcohol in the individual provinces.
Liquor in Ontario is sold and controlled by the LCBO, and were directed to remove all American products from the shelves by our Premier (governer sorta)
Same with BC and NS. So not a Federal/National mandate, but a political one indeed.
Liquor stores are government run in most Canadian territories. It wasn’t a National mandate, but it was a government mandate in the provinces that did make that decision.
