A very good read.
The Food Professor- Canada Keeps Losing at Geopolitics—And Our Farmers Pay the Price
“Canada keeps picking fights it can’t win—now our farmers are paying the price for Ottawa’s reckless trade policies.”
Francisco- So are we taking Chinese booze off the shelves? Asking for a friend.
I’m from the government, and I’m here to help!
Where goes the US drink removed from government run store shelves? Was that a knee jerk reaction?
The consumer’s choice has been taken. Can’t boycott.
What’s next?
Oh yeah, the ineligible Lib candidates? D’oh, I mean voting members?
Back into the warehouse if it’s been paid for already, or back to the vendor if it hasn’t.
And, of course what happens now is the vendors will no longer give the LCBO terms, instead preferring to be paid up front.
The effing booze will be sold after the situation is resolved one way or another. If it stays on the shelf the US suffers no pain as a purchase boycott will just draw down inventory which will be replaced in 2 days once the issue is resolved. The manufacturers won’t miss a single sale. As beer or wine approaches its best before date, I’m sure it will be sold. Hard liquor is good for years if not forever.
“This raises an important question: if the Canadian government is serious about climate action, shouldn’t it prioritize making EVs more affordable rather than blocking cheaper imports? Instead, Ottawa has chosen to prioritize jobs in the auto sector over environmental concerns. The inconsistency is staggering.”
I’m coming around to believing that the “Food Professor” is a festering moron, failing to understand that the government ignores all second and third order effects of their decisions, and will consistently make bad choices because there is no punishment for them being wrong. Even as they loot, pillage and burn Canada, they still get their paychecks and excessive benefits, and once they are done, we still pay for their pensions.
It goes without saying…

What makes you think this isn’t a deliberate plan to bankrupt farmers and steal their land?
After all, you’re mere hours away from having a Central Banker as Prime Minister.
So, once again, nascent and heavily subsidized industries in Ontario and Québec are being protected while the western agricultural industry (mainly Alberta & Saskatchewan, but including southern Manitoba and NE British Columbia) pays the price.
