It would be wise for every business to have "Made in Canada" stickers, sections, and signs on everything they can.
As a consumer, I want to be involved in supporting my country and will choose Canadian products if that's an option, so making it easier is a win/win for us and local businesses.
Here's a great distillery to start with. The butter tart moonshine is fantastic.

Willibald makes excellent gin.
Dillon's makes great stuff and they were really supportive of the local community at the height of the COVID pandemic.
I'm American but I plan on buying Canadian products in Canada whenever I have a chance.
So like… is crown royal considered good to yall?
Not really no. There is good Canadian stuff out there depending what you're looking for and where in Canada you are. Lot no. 40 makes good rye that's available pretty much everywhere, the Single Copper Pot Still and the Dark Oak are both good. Tons of smaller distilliries doing good stuff as well, but a lot of those might be hard to get depenging where you are.
Other than maybe some small, craft distilleries, every Canadian whisky company makes boring stuff that tastes good with coke. However, most also make some higher end whiskies that are actually good. Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye, mentioned elsewhere in this thread, is a good example of this.
These better stay up even though Trump "paused" his tariff threats. Until he fully backs down and cancels them, Canada shouldn't be selling US booze.
We already stopped selling Russian alchohol after the invasion so there's plenty of precident for a full stop.
I do miss Russian standard though but I was able to switch to ketal one when I drank more quite easily
I thought he only paused Mexico for 30 days?
He paused ours aswell. I think he realized what a mistake he made and tried to find a way to safe face.
Don't worry, you can still make American beer at home by buying Canadian beer, then cutting it with water.
You want to make sure that shit's genuine nestlé from the Sun baked hills of California.
EU needs something like "Certified Not USA" or something. Go go go Canada!
I hope we keep the clearly-marked signs up regardless of the 30-day reprieve announced today.
We cannot just go back to the way things were.
No we really can't.
What the fuck does America even make that the rest of the world needs?
Half of the stuff coming out is just Chinese products with a US company logo taped to it.
Their biggest export by a mile is oil. Wean yourselves off oil = Wean yourselves off America.
Wait, you mean the constantly flowing pipeline of low-brow cultural sewage that they hawk to the world doesn't tickle your fancy?
Reality shows that have no resemblance to reality?
Love in pods?
The Kardashians?
Survivor? Let's take that one. You think anyone watches that to see the winner? Why not just have one episode then? No. Americans LOVE a loser. They identify most closely to losers, because that is their nature.
A river of shit, from a SHIT HOLE COUNTRY, worshipping their rejects and losers, deserving of all the scorn that's shortly inbound.
Won't this encourage some businesses to move production to Canada? That would get around the tax, right? Come to think of it... Canadian labor is a bit cheaper, isn't it?
I see this as an absolute win.
Better union up
in Quebec the SAQ stopped selling it at all
Fier de mes cousins québécois.
I want to go around stores putting stickers on the US products directing shoppers to local ones.
Maybe just post it notes so I don't get on trouble for vandalism.
Alcohol is bad example .... people would buy Pakistani aged gasoline as a drink if they had to without caring if it was made in Canada or not.
Some people perhaps? Like if you're buying well alcohol to get drunk then sure...
Most people are extremely choosey about booze though - hence the gigantic market around wines and whiskeys.
If they make the best aged gasoline then why not? As long as it's not American.
Any Canadian recommendations for bourbon alternatives? i.e., 51% or more corn, the remainder rye, maybe some wheat and very little barley?

Can you get into rye? Canada makes better rye.
I don't mind rye at all, so that's the plan, but I really like bourbon in my old fashioneds.
