I'm about to start carrying US flag stickers for that kind of bullshit

That's a great idea

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 42 points 2 days ago

Make sure your stickers are made in China!

Home drawn with the stars replaced with little swastikas

[-] UnderFreyja@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Oh that's good

[-] ScientifficDoggo@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 days ago

Lol, jokes on you, they're ALL made in China!

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

You can print custom stickers in every Canadian settlement bigger than a small town.

I will accept that errors taken when making and executing in policies this quickly, but this should be corrected.

I bought a bottle of this at the distillery in Tennessee. Awful stuff.

well it's a jack daniels

A businessman lying to possibly sell more product? If this continues to happen then the whole system will be broken after a while! /s

LCBO is Liquor Control Board of Ontario.

[-] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 2 days ago

I thought that the liquor monopoly in Canada are pulling American product? Jack Daniel’s is unmistakably a US brand.

[-] Mohamed@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 days ago

Just fyi, there isnt just one liquor monopoly. Not sure about other provinces, but BC has BC Liquor and Quebec has SAQ. I guess LCBO is Ontario's.

[-] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago

Ontario has he LCBO which is government owned and The Beer Store which is privately owned by Molsom-Coors, Labatt and Sleemans. There’s also some grocery stores that can sell some kinds of alcohol, but I think the rule is is that they need to be a certain distance away from an LCBO or Beer Store. This is mostly for rural areas I think?

[-] saigot@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

There are no location requirements for selling alcohol as a grocery store, you have to have a certain percentage of your store selling groceries though. And those grocery stores have to buy through the LCBO.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Over the last few months nearly every gas station or corner store also carries alcohol in Ontario. Doug Ford spent millions of dollars to rush shelving the products so he could undermine the efforts of the LCBO workers strike. He also rushed along an app so you can find booze near you.

[-] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah alright, wasn’t sure about that bit. In Nova Scotia, grocery stores and convenience stores can sell booze now, but they have to be a certain distance away from an NSLC, so we have some stores dotted around now selling booze. It’s been a while since I lived in Ontario and I left before the grocery store thing. Point being though, there’s ye olde Beer Store to go along with the LCBO and now there’s the other stores too. Did they ever get buck a beer though? I recall that being a very Important Issue when I left Ontario.

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

To add on to this chain, in Quebec you get cheap beer at the mom and pop depanneurs, and good wine at the SAQ. And you don't want to confuse the later with the SAAQ or the SQDC.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Tons of dépanneurs also sell craft beers though!

[-] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago

This picture is from a week ago.

It is an US brand, but it could be like Heinz ketchup, that although being an American brand, it’s entirely made in Canada with Canadian tomatoes.

[-] tarsn@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago

Didn't we all start buying french's when Heinz closed their Canadian facilities a few years ago? Thought that was a thing but didn't follow it that closely. My wife and mother in law have both insisted on buying french's since then.

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 5 points 1 day ago

Heinz ended up making them in Canada again after the backlash. You do have to check the bottles though, as I think some are still sourced from the US.

[-] ShawiniganHandshake@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

French's is owned by McCormick now but their ketchup is still made in Canada from Canadian tomatoes. Their mustard is made in the US.

[-] Trex202@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Heinz makes the ketchup in Canada, but doesn't use Canadian tomatoes. French's uses Canadian tomatoes.

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

Wiser’s is the tits anyway

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Inclined to agree, but we always remember our first drunk.

Now remembering the ones after, however

[-] JeromeVancouver@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

I am a Canadian Club man myself but Wisers is also tasty

[-] Rusty@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Wiser's is great in Manhattan.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

I will try it, but I need to empty a bottle before I can buy a bottle.

It’s a sacrifice in willing to make.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Start taking a hammer to that shit.
