Is this what they call the free market? It’s for everyone after all.
Canadian booze sellers thriving
lol, good job USA!
Americans oligarchs hate our Canadian mushroom growers and our wine growers.
Get rid of Trump & MAGA and we can Talk
Honestly? No thanks. Even when the pedo is done I’ll stick to non-US products whenever possible.
And fix the systems so someone like Trump can’t seize power again.
This was a California senator saying this.
Trump and his administration has been fucking with California non-stop.
We’re talking withholding funds despite the fact we pay more to the federal government than any other state. We’re talking opening dams and destroying water reserves. We’re talking sending swarms of federal agents to abuse and maim protesters while rounding up “immigrants” in the streets.
Sorry your goods are more expensive. We do know what that’s like here, because tarriffs costs are all passed on to us directly.
The west coast is the primary wine region in the us. Washington, Oregon, and California all voted against trump every time he was on the ballot. A boycott on wine does cause harm primarily to the states that were always against this, hence the senator’s reaction.
There is a simple way to help the wine industry during this crisis, leave the US. Now’s the time. Make it happen, senator.
Boohoo
And the rest of the yanks while we’re at it.
“Unfortunately, the restriction on American wine has had damaging consequences for regional consumers, businesses, and producers who have no influence over national policies.”
So… The boycott is working as intended tgen?
Are they fighting fascists ? No? Then stfu. Not you people in the article
canada, an entire nation… california, a mere state among many… they each have about the same number of people. canada’s population is spread out over a much, much larger area, but they’re pretty close in ‘size’ nonetheless.
if a market that small makes-or-breaks your industry… perhaps that industry has more pressing issues a little closer-to-home. it should be easy enough to make-up for the loss of canada by selling more domestically instead. there’s 300 million other people in your own country you could be selling to. why aren’t you mad at them for not buying more of your product?
no you see its not that they arent making enough money, its that the money theyre making isnt growing fast enough. dont you know not buying a thing is basically stealing money from these companies pockets? youre stealing the money they could have made. wont anyone think of the shareholders?
oh wait sorry thats the argument they use against piracy.

Yes I believe that was the point.
Steal, aluminum, automotive and softwood lumber tariffs ‘causing devastating harm’
The headline that should have been.
I’m getting really tired of media outlets sucking up to Trump by glazing over how his shit policies are fucking everything up.
Edit: also, fuck Adam Schiff. The democratic party hand picked their successor to Feinstein and got exactly what they wanted, another corporate stooge.
Music to my ears
It’s music to Trump’s ears too. You and he are aligned in this. He hates California and wants nothing more than for us to fall.
And both you and the Trump in your head think that boycotting wine is going to cause California to fall?
Yeah, and?
Good. Neoliberals like Gavin enabled the fascist tech bros so reap what you sow. Does he still have that podcast where he licks fascist nuts? Or is he just devoting all his time to blocking the one time five percent billionaire tax? California should enact the pre Reagan 70% billionaire tax every year
No, Trump is.
Good.
Noooooo Tr*mp’s tariffs and illegal trade war are causing devastating harm to U.S wines.
I wonder what percentage of americans blame trump versus those that blame Canada. Maybe South Park was right?
We blame Trump.
That said, there are a lot of really asinine comments in this thread that seem to be viciously happy to see California face a hardship.
Every single one of these people is actually fully aligned with Trump’s own hatred for us Californians. When you see every American as your enemy, you only help this monster and dismiss the very people Trump seeks to marginalize.
Your doing his bidding by lumping us all together.
