I was gob-smacked when the American ambassador went on CBC and called Canadians "Nasty" for boycotting American goods. Then he kept doing it! It doesn't matter whether it was because the Americans selected a inept ambassador or if they gave their ambassador inept instructions. This is precisely the opposite of what an ambassador is supposed to do. The U.S. is a very poorly governed country right now.

Bourbon is back on the shelves in my province (because our premier is spineless), but I still won't touch the corn swill. Even before this nonsense broke out, I'd have taken Canadian rye over bourbon any day!

Good news is that Bourbon can be made anywhere in the world. 51% corn mash aged in a single use charade oak barrel and no adding of artificially flavors.

Kentucky's Bourbon ambassador made false clams that Bourbon only comes from USA Kentucky. Go on any tour and that will tell you the message above.

Produce your own Bourbon Canada and the problem is solved. It might even help create an international market to help your country.

Fun fact, some US Bourbon distilleries actually produce Bourbon that is never sold in the USA and only in select counties like Japan.

There is a significant segment of the US population that is very sorry about this, and hopes in a few years we’ll see a change that will let us go back to being best friends.

They were not speaking to Canada

It's the enshitification of government -- there are no more adults left in the room.
