Tariff's, Tariff's, Alcohol Tariff's? Why am I not surprised about this news? And why am I not surprised we've heard nothing in American news about this? What am I talking about? The decision by about all Canadian Provinces to no longer sell alcohol brewed or distilled in America. Back when the Tariff war was going on (it still is, that will never end most likely), Canada pulled all alcohol from American Breweries, Distilleries, and Wineries from its shelves. The article begins by saying, "Canadian provinces have a strange problem: What to do with millions of dollars worth of American alcohol, pulled from the shelves in anger over US tariffs and now gathering dust in stock rooms?" They are serious too, we're talking over $100 million, that's a lot of profit to get rid of, just because it's from America. That's a bit on the crazy side if you ask me, but there is a silver lining to this cloud. From the article: At least two provinces say the booze will go to a good cause, promising to sell remaining inventory and donate proceeds to charity. One province is offloading it to restaurants and bars instead of selling it to the public. Others have not said what they plan to do with the shelved liquor. That includes Ontario, which has an eye-popping C$80m ($57.7m; £43.3m) worth of US booze stockpiled, some of which will soon expire. What? Liquor expires? Gee, I bet the closet of liquor I have at home here expired long ago. I'm glad that the money is being donated to charity or given to food banks though. Why can't they do this all the time instead of only when they are mad at America? Oh well, I know little about this, and am surprised to learn that liquor expires. To me, that's like the old joke about Poison. Poison has an expiration date on it. So if/when it expires, is it more poisonous? Or now non-poisonous? |
