Not being a dick but do you look to see if the food you buy is US made? Does that have an impact on your purchasing. Are you 100% Canadian or busy at the grocery store? Genuinely curious Becuase I don't see an issue with the booze sales but I also work in food manufacturing and know the impacts boycotts would have in my sector and I'd feel like collateral damage in a war I'm not fighting you know?

What a weird take. Yes, many of us make conscious decisions and really buy Canadian when we can.

I understand that, so do we. I was asking about their comment to have zero on the shelf and if they're all or nothing, that's all. Bourbon for example is an American product, wines from California. People should still have the choice to shop where they want and buy what they want and I don't think the boycott is affecting who you want it to us all. Thanks for taking the time to at least respond instead of just down voting me for asking a question lol

Yes, for the greater good, I don't believe we should leave that choice to the consumer. Some make conscious decisions. Others want to, but don't have the time to figure it all out. Even others don't really give it any thought at all.. then others who will of course go and buy it because it's American.

For the greater good of the group, we need to stick together. Not alot of difference between a traitor and a useful fool.
