Globe and Mail- Canadian pancake-mix, snack-bar makers consider moving to U.S. as tariffs loom
Canada’s second-largest pancake mix brand and a pioneer of high-protein refrigerated snacks are looking to move expanded production across the border, mirroring a KPMG survey that found almost half of Canadian businesses plan to move more investment and operations to the U.S.
No worries…Ford’s promise to tariff the hell out of American booze will have our brethren South of the border on their knees. Go gettem Doug!!!
Pfffftttt. February is tomorrow right? Why yes it is.
Stocked up the alcohol during the covid BS, and have been rotating it through. Used Dougie’s $200 voter bribe to add a couple extra US bottles to the mix. Don’t drink that much, but it is there if needed. If not I’m good through 2026.
Wait this out just like covid.
Now if I could find an local reservation that did liquor just like my cigars, I’d be happier.
(Yeah, I know the pics there)
I said this to my wife recently. The reservations are selling gas and tobacco at a discount along with THC products, so when will the booze be available?
Privatize the profits and socialize the problems.
The reservations I’m familiar with in the Niagara regions of NY all sell liquor (and tobacco and gas). I didn’t know yours didn’t.
That trend started the day the Spawn’s regime was first elected and the anointed one became PM. Nothing to see here folks. The solution: free trade, eliminate corporate income tax, capital gains taxes, eliminate 80% of leviathan, privatize all useful crown land, and industrial scale deregulation. Show Trump how capitalism (liberty) works. That won’t happen of course because PP is not Max and now caters to the MMM of the spectrum to ensure electability. So carry on and enjoy the decline, perhaps a little slower under PP.
Thankfully … my beloved Red River hot cereal was bought by the US conglomerate, Smuckers. So no tariffs on my morning porridge!

This move is indicative of what many many companies are thinking across the globe. That’s not an exaggeration. If your primary customer creates a cost hurdle, you look for an alternative approach to negate that extra expense. That gives you two choices. Raise your prices to the already in place inflation on your product. Or, move your manufacturing to the home of your primary customer and negate the extra tariff costs.
He was serious about this:
((The former president also claimed his administration would “take other countries’ jobs” with the economic incentives he is offering.
“We’re going to take their factories,” Trump said Tuesday. “We’re going to bring thousands and thousands of businesses and trillions of dollars in wealth back to the good old USA.))
Oh noes! Not me pancakes!
The best part about the PTBs fighting it out is that We The People always lose.
The brain drain and the success drain will always happen as long as Canadians vote for commie-lite drama queens and K-bec “leaders” who hate “da henglish”…
We could have our own space launch facilities, Arctic naval bases, a proper badass military and Just Enough Nukes so people are respectful and a little scared shitless when we tell them, “Don’t cross that line”.
But nope, Canadian sub-mediocrity…
Canada could have been the envy of the world were it not for 80 years of liberal government. Liberals are identical twins to communism
I am torn. As an American, I relish the economic dominance of the US, but as someone who philosophically wants all people to prosper and as someone who feels a great kinship to Canadians due to shared culture and to the many wonderfull interactions I have had with Canadians over many years, my heart breaks to hear that so many CA businesses feel compelled to abandon their homeland.
