B.C. premier announces countermeasures against U.S. tariffs, including ban on 'red-state' liquor

It feels like Trump is going to be the biggest motivator for people to join BRICS and give home exactly what he claims to want: an isolated US.

Corporations are going to corporate. Red state liquors will "move" their operations to a blue state, doing final labeling before shipping to Canada.

Right as they continue to fund fascism.

Why wait?

Yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum.

Prime Minister Trudeau and President Sheinbaum discussed the deep people-to-people ties, the strong trade and investment relationship between Canada and Mexico, and the importance of preserving North American competitiveness and prosperity. They spoke about the imposition of U.S. tariffs on both countries, as well as their respective efforts to enhance border security and combat the production and distribution of illegal drugs. The leaders agreed to continue working together in areas of common interest and to enhance the strong bilateral relations between Canada and Mexico.

Prime Minister Trudeau and President Sheinbaum agreed to remain in close contact.

Not just red states:

At the local level, some authorities in provinces like Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia will remove American liquor brands from government store shelves. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Sunday the Liquor Control Board of Ontario sells nearly $1 billion worth of American wine, beer, spirits and seltzers every year.

“Not anymore,” Ford said in a statement. “Starting Tuesday, we’re removing American products from LCBO shelves. As the only wholesaler of alcohol in the province, LCBO will also remove American products from its catalogue so other Ontario-based restaurants and retailers can’t order or restock U.S. products.”

Mexico and Canada are our biggest trade partners, each alone outstrips China. We do not have the momentum to ride this out. Despite our monster economy, it doesn't take much wobble to fuck it all up.

Anyway, I sincerely hope this crashes America, hard and fast. I want Trump voters and sit-outs punished. I want shit to hit the fan so hard every conservative voter and Republican leader gets soaked. I want the end of the GOP, whatever I have to suffer.

You think that's going to stop them? They still think mexico is gonna pay for the wall.

I'm no expert, but wouldn't the tariff apply to the targeted good no matter which state it's finished in?

[jewbacca117@lemmy.world]

That's what it looks like after reading the article. Moving to a different state won't change anything.

[hellsbelle@sh.itjust.works]

Thank you for the offer. Imo the best thing you can do is find a way to rid your nation of the rot that's killing it, ie: super rich cunts who buy elections and weasel their way into the WH.

[jaybone@lemmy.world]

Thank you for focusing on specific states.

This. You want to really have an impact? Bypass the US long-haul, rail, and shipping networks. Send it all through the coasts.

Right, like I say, it'll be expensive but the pain inflicted on the us sends the message.
