What the hell are we buying in EU? It would never cross my mind to by American alcohol.

The 9.6m is Alberta and Saskatchewan compromising our defences.
Maybe worth noting that Canada imposed a reciprocal 25% tariff on US spirits, while (AFAIK) the EU's reciprocal tariffs were only on steel & aluminum. Canadians may be individually 'elbows up,' but their government is backing that sentiment better than Europe. That reciprocal tariff really helps identify the source of products.
I was a big fan of those.
Safeway was like "Geeze, we can't afford to sell Bicks pickles anymore due to the teriffs" and I was just "sweet, thanks for making it super easy to know exactly what thing I'll never buy again for the rest of my fucking life"
It’s sad knowing that Trump has caused long term damage to our world standing.
Even if by some miracle we elect a democrat in 2028, don’t expect world-wide anti-American sentiment to change much. We have proven we can’t be trusted. Also I fear that the amount of damage Trump is causing in other areas will be too much for the next dem to be able to clean up. We won’t have another Clinton, Obama or Biden situation.

It's not just Trump. This is also years of American Exceptionalism coming home to roost.

I don't think you'll ever see your old government again. Trump is going to severely break it, the Christian Nationalist will take over when they nuke Trump in the mid terms (my guess, they'll kill him and blame the left) and that will be the end of that. Maybe in a few years you'll have a civil war and the states will break up. I mean, that's Putin's goal right?
Yeah but you got to admit, us Canadians are going hard on the boycott.
It might be because we have observed the US from a close distance and understand them better.
FYI, here is the article that the graph is from. It includes some other data too, on dropping travel to the US and reduced orange juice imports.
I check each bottle of booze I buy to make sure it is not amerikan. I am not supporting my enemy.
Cowardly Europeans need to step it up.
This would indicate an overwhelming support for the boycott, but that is misleading. Probably most Canadians, such as myself, get their liquor from government-run liquor stores such at BC Liquor or LCBO. These stores have stopped stocking USian liquor in response to the tariffs.
Considering the boycott in other sectors not controlled by government stores and its impact (most notably tourism) I think Canadians will do just fine.
So that paints the other countries in a better light. Here in the UK it'll just be down to individuals choosing not to buy. It's still on the shelves.
If people are wondering why the EU columns are so tall, it's because Europe is 27 countries, not one like USians seem to believe.
I'd like to see this graph normalized per capita.
I'd like to say I have contributed to this change, but I've been drinking local microbrewery beer since before Trump got elected the first time.
Won't someone please think about the alcohol companies. They're so so so poor
