In BC, they're pulling booze produced in red states from liquor store shelves. I like the targeting.

Yes, there are KY bourbons on the shelf in that pic.
"Eby said he has directed the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch to immediately stop purchasing American liquor from Republican-led 'red states' and remove the top-selling brands from public liquor store shelves."
It's only been two days and we don't know when that pic was taken.

Smart! Canadians micro-targeting their boycott against Red States is GENIUS!
We should try to do that here-- try to buy from progressive companies headquartered in Blue states.
(Does anyone have such a list?)

@Dave_Goldsmith I'm sure someone's made such a list. I'll reach out to a friend who would know.

It gets murky fast. Target HQ is in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a solidly blue state. After Target caved, I'm done with them.
As far alcohol goes, keep buying from California vineyards. And definitely go for the Canadian Club over the Kentucky brands.

@JoshuaHolland @Dave_Goldsmith I know of theses California companies:
Lost Republic - Bourbon and Rye
St. George Spirits - Gin & Vodka
Cutwater Spirits - Rum
Tahoe Blue - Vodka
Plus too many wineries to list for wine.

Well I hardly ever drink alcohol so I'd be more interested in lists of progressive companies in blue States in other industries. Do you know of any such lists?

Penzey's Spices is known for fighting back against these kinds of policies.
The caption on the back, "Season Liberally" deserves a chef's kiss for #punniness.

Kentucky has a Democratic governor, so they may have given it a pass

@JoshuaHolland Interesting ... our most iconic whiskys come from red states, especially Kentucky and Tennessee. My parents drank Canadian whisky though.

It makes sense.
The red statesβ representatives presumably have some access to their president and can whine at him to stop the tariff nonsense.
Of course, they might find out that they no longer have his earβ¦

@JoshuaHolland this is exactly what needs to happen - personal, business and government level, punish the states that voted in a convicted felon and his billionaires Hitler wanna be buddy, time for doing nothing in the name of civility or international law or rules or whatever the bs they'd cry about after as always is long over.

@JoshuaHolland As an American, I'll probably buy Canadian over red state too. Besides, Yukon Jack and pancakes sounds like a perfect breakfast for dealing with Trump's idiocy.

I was actually a bit astounded when I heard the premier specifically mention red states in the ban.
