Canadian provinces pull U.S. alcohol from shelves as Trump tariffs kick in
Lawson Whiting, CEO of Jack Daniel’s maker Brown-Forman, said Canada removing U.S. alcohol is “worse than a tariff.”
[March 6, 2025 at 3:54 a.m. EST]
On Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau retaliated with 25 percent tariffs on roughly $107 billion worth of U.S. products. About $21 billion worth of those goods would be hit immediately, including beer, wine and spirits, with the remainder of the tariffs going into effect about three weeks later. Trump has also angered Canadians by suggesting the country should become the 51st U.S. state.
Now, Canadian provinces are joining the pushback.
This week, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew posted a video on Instagram signing an order to remove U.S. alcohol from government-run stores. “This order, it’s a wonderful order, it’s a beautiful order,” he says in the clip, mimicking Trump’s tone. Within a day, the video garnered more than 6 million views and tens of thousands of comments.
Last year, the United States exported to Canada over $300 million worth of spirits, wine worth $422 million and beer worth $41 million, according to Trading Economics. The United States imported from Canada a total of $771 million worth of spirits, beer and wine in the same period.
“For decades, there have been zero for zero tariffs on spirits trade between the U.S. and Canada,” Chris Swonger, president and CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, said in a statement this week. “We urge the U.S. and Canada to work together to reach an agreement that continues to foster a thriving spirits industry between our two countries.”
The North American alcohol industry is interconnected, and tariffs on tequila and Canadian whisky will harm U.S. companies that have these liquors in their brand portfolios, the association has said. It estimates that 25 percent tariffs on imports of distilled spirits from Mexico and Canada could lead to a loss of more than 31,000 U.S. jobs.
At least five other Canadian provinces — Ontario, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador have taken similar actions against American alcohol.
The liquor board in Ontario said it stocked over 3,600 alcohol products from 35 American states. The province is a key destination for Kentucky bourbon, and Ontario’s premier, Doug Ford, said of the product this week: “They’re done, they’re gone.”
Bourbon is a $9 billion industry in Kentucky and generates more than 23,00o jobs, according to the state’s distillers association. Kentucky’s Democratic governor, Andy Beshear, has opposed Trump’s tariffs and said their impact “is going to be incredibly difficult and challenging for our people.”

WIRED is also doing great coverage on DOGE. not all nerds are NAZISWhen the very institutions that made American innovation possible are being systematically dismantled, it’s not a “political” story anymore. It’s a story about whether the environment that enabled all the other stories we cover will continue to exist.
We’ve always covered the intersection of technology, innovation, and policy (27+ years and counting). Sometimes that meant writing about patents or copyright, sometimes about content moderation, sometimes about privacy. But what happens when the fundamental systems that make all of those conversations possible start breaking down? When the people dismantling those systems aren’t even pretending to replace them with something better?
We’re going to keep covering this story because, frankly, it’s the only story that matters right now, and one that not everyone manages to see clearly. The political press may not understand what’s happening (or may be too afraid to say it out loud), but those of us who’ve spent decades studying how technology and power interact? We see it and we can’t look away.

LOL@ trump's latest executive order trying to sanction the lawfirm that represented hillary clinton for manufacturing the steele dossier to steal the 2016 election and for racial discrimination (against white people). never forget that trump's first interaction with the fbi was for racial discrimination (against black people) and never mind that no court has upheld this sweeping definition of 'excessive DEI' !
at this point i think civil war is more likely than the majority tolerating this bullshit for 3 more years
also i think gavin newsome spiked any chance he had at the presidency in 2028 by inviting charlie fucking kirk on his podcast and agreeing with him on trans sports ban

not only have they removed the top officers who aren't white males, they're purging any mention of women or non white people
also a world historical crypto scam - we can apparently afford this but can't feed starving children. more payback for trump's cronies
Social Security is not a ponzi scheme - Crypto is a ponzi scheme!
not only have they removed the top officers who aren't white males, they're purging any mention of women or non white people
the free speech idiotsThe database, which was confirmed by U.S. officials and published by AP, includes more than 26,000 images that have been flagged for removal across every military branch. But the eventual total could be much higher.
In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.
Several photos of an Army Corps of Engineers dredging project in California were marked for deletion, apparently because a local engineer in the photo had the last name Gay. And a photo of Army Corps biologists was on the list, seemingly because it mentioned they were recording data about fish — including their weight, size, hatchery and gender.

a DOJ attorney (female) was dismissed after refusing to restore mel gibson's gun rights
ugh. we're trying to deport people for supposed 'anti-semitism.' meanwhile this creep is having his rights restored. what a terrible joke“Giving guns back to domestic abusers is a serious matter that, in my view, is not something that I could recommend lightly, because there are real consequences that flow from people who have a history of domestic violence being in possession of firearms,” Oyer told The New York Times.
“He then essentially explained to me that Mel Gibson has a personal relationship with President Trump and that should be sufficient basis for me to make a recommendation and that I would be wise to make the recommendation,” she said a senior official told her about the recommendation.
Oyer continued to insist that Gibson, who had faced a previous scandal in 2006 for being pulled over on suspicion of a DUI and berating a police officer with antisemitic comments, was a poor fit for firearms access under regular DOJ standards.
By Friday, she said she was dismissed from the department

let's fucking gotrump at the dept of justice today:
“The case against me was bullshit,”
Trump argues that judges are improperly influenced when they get criticized in the press. “They take such abuse and very simply they are afraid of bad publicity,” says Trump. “It probably should be illegal.”
Trump has been one of the biggest public critics of judges who rule against him, or even have the opportunity to rule against him. By his own definition, his own past conduct would be considered illegal.
Trump is declaring that what the news media does is “corrupt” and “illegal” because they aren’t describing his election the way he wants.
Trump casually says the past elections were rigged against him, which is false.
In addition to saying it should be a crime to criticize the courts, he suggests it should be a crime to describe his election victory in ways other than what he believes is the truth.
it's like a terrible joke that never ends. ofc they've purged all the lawyers who worked on cases against him and put a bunch of flunkies in there so who knows what comes next
Trump says “the people who did this to us should go to jail,” appearing to refer to some Democrats because of the lost 2020 election. He does not name names.
i don't believe half the country wants an idiot king
btw we got a raft of court rulings saying the mass firings were illegal -- which atty general pam bondi says are 'unconstitutional' - i don't think they know the meaning of this word

the courts are fighting back but republicans are now threatening to dismantle the federal court system
not sure what it will take to make people see. i guess both sides are equally bad so who the fuck cares
we have a very narrow window to stop this if we still want (reasonably) free and fair elections. i guess half the country just -- doesn't
big nationwide action next saturday, stay tuned

One hypothesis is that he's deliberately tanking the market so his cronies can buy cheap and watch it recover. So much winning for them!
The opposite of 'reify' is... ?
