""Put American wine and spirits back on the shelf; they haven't done that. To reopen to America procurement opportunities; they haven't done that. To give us fair access to their dairy markets; they haven't done that," Greer told CBC News producer Sylvia Thomson."

Liquor stores are under provincial purview, and screw American alcohol. We don't want to buy it. These asses do not understand this basic thing: screw with us, insult us, find new markets.

I've been avoiding onions grown in the US. Onions. Like, that most basic of root vegetables, but who the hell knows what gets into, and stays in, them? Peruvian and Ontarian onions aren't any more expensive, really.

I am somewhat happy to see that the Kraken is being bottled domestically now, but I'm wondering about the supply chain before I go out and grab any.

@theogrin @wordstitcher The kraken? :)

I avoid all US products on principle. Farmers were a strong pro-Spanky group, screw’em. They saw what he did in his first regime and decided “more of that.” They are supposed to be business people. Spanky hurt their business first time around, it was ridiculous to think he’d do better this time around.

And his chucking out health standards is chilling. Canada, Mexico, any food product not from US.

Oh, the Kraken is a variety of spiced dark rum, typically held as one of the better mass-market variants. In its lack, I've tried some of the others, sometimes to positive results, sometimes negative: Goslings is a good decent pick, Captain Morgan's is very mid and about what you'd expect, and I've quite enjoyed the Old Monk for the past bit.

Kraken's back on the LCBO's shelves as it's now being bottled in Canada, not sure if that'll last.
