“The Distilled Spirits Council, an industry group, estimated exports of U.S. distilled spirits to Canada at $43.4 million over the first six months of 2025, down about 62% from the same period in 2024. Exports of American wine were about 67% lower, the group said, citing U.S. trade data.”
Good job, Canada! Keep your elbows up!
HA
HA
If only there weren’t so many maple-washed. eg. I bet some Canadians think Molson Canadian is Canadian.
Molson Coors is a Canadian-American company with headquarters in Chicago and Montreal.
For me, that’s enough to stay away from it, but it’s not a fully American company, so I allow some leeway there.
There is enough really phenomenal beer available from local microbreweries now that I never have to drink Molson ever again.
Trying beer I’ve never had before is one of my favorite things to do when I’m in a new city.
Molson also produces at least some of their beer in Canada afaik
They still have breweries in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, and BC.
Can confirm the New-West brewery has shut down. They paved that entire district, put up a parking lot (under these great-looking buildings).
The one in Chilliwack is their main factory here I think.
Half out of the country is only PART Canadian.
I wonder if Miracle Max can do anything about that….
Verily it is not Canadian any longer. The jobs are all in Murca. It’s brewed in Murca.
They still have active breweries in four provinces.
Moosehead is the only fully Canadian major brewery left, to my knowledge.
Everything else is owned by either Molson-Coors, Sapporo or InBev.
You do you.

Also fuck the US.
Idk if this is just me but remember public education in the US making it seem so damn cool and good and special? It’s like growing up, realizing Santa isn’t real but watching people in their 50’s break down like toddlers when you explain how it’s all made up.
Yes, exactly!
It’s getting worse. They’re actively combing curriculum for bad stuff and lightening it or taking it out entirely. Trail of tears, Japanese internment, banana republics, etc.
I had a conversation a few months ago with a frat bro who didn’t know the origin of the phrase “Banana Republic”. When I explained to him that we destabilized and exploited south American countries for shit like bananas and coca cola, he outright refused to believe it. And after roughly 20 minutes of online sources the only thing he relented was that “The times were different and that was just the cost of doing business.”
We killed people for bananas and sugary water. Murdered. Gunned them down in the streets and their beds while they slept.
The American empire isn’t going to fucking collapse because we show an ounce of remorse for the evil that’s been perpetuated in the name of “our freedoms.”

Do y’all make good wine? Or do you just import it from Chile instead of California?
The Niagara region in ON and Okanagan region in BC produce some good stuff, or so I’m told. More a beer and whiskey guy myself.
Canada makes really lovely wines. Vancouver Island especially has some of my favourites (also because I live here haha).
There’s many countries that produce wine, skipping on the US’s contribution is hardly a blip on the radar.
Ontario and BC wine is okay. I prefer white and I find the whites to be rather nice; I can’t really speak to reds, though I had a nice Ontario Merlot a few years ago. Can’t remember the name, unfortunately.
There’s so much wine outside of the US and Canada though. Chilean wine has pleasantly surprised me lately, for example. I also like a lot of the stuff coming out of Australia too. You may be able to tell I’m on a budget, lol.
Whites are OK but not great. Reds are bleh, not enough sun.
Okanagon wine, lots of sun and desert heat
And most of those wineries will tell you they aren’t great reds. Been doing wine buying trips in the Okanagan for 30 years when there was maybe 6 wineries.
It depends. Kelowna is a bit north for reds so you’ll get your pinot, gamay, zweitgelt, etc and they’re decent. I find the only good merlot, syrah, foch, even tempranillo, fuller body stuff is mostly Similkameen Valley and south near the border. I’d say there’s definitely solid red options but they come at a price. Chilean or even French equivalents for less.
The wine drinkers I know already drank Canadian wines before this whole ordeal
honestly canadian wine is quite good. every time ive tried wine outside of canada, i always end up comparing it to canadian wine and am slightly dissapointed in comparison.
Nothing of value will be lost.
Wasn’t there some c suite recently saying exports to Canada are equivalent to a rounding error in terms of volume? Where’s that guy? How’s he doing?
I believe he got off scot-free which is part of the C-suite job description, zero accountability unless there’s credit to be taken
Keep up the good work!
Boycott us harder Maple Daddy.
GOBBLESS YA SON
Good! Let them reel…
Hell yeah!
It’s literally toxic.
Get fucked yanks. 🖕🖕🖕
Yeah buddy!
