Do you think this was targeting Canadians? It’s clearly talking about how the tariffs are a result of US tariffs hence “retaliatory tariffs” is used.
This is for American politicians to get them to understand how the tariffs hurt the Americans in his organization.
Everything I've stated is just a fact. Whomever Eric is addressing is irrelevant.
But what you should do first before lending him a sympathetic ear, is clarify who he voted for, and if he or his organization donated any funds to elect Donald Trump.
Your comment could be factual but it is still irrelevant as nothing you state is germane to what he is saying there.
Whom he voted for changes nothing about the point he is making which is tariffs are going to hurt Americans.
Shrug.
Anyhoo, that'll be zero dollars and zero cents spent by myself on American booze for the rest of my life.
Now, based on you trying to trying to set me straight on what's making republican booze producers very sad, I think I'll put more effort into getting my fellow Canadians to follow suit.
Im not trying to convince you of anything other than the fact that you completely misunderstood everything in that post to a surprising degree.
How do you know who he voted for? Votes aren’t public record. His organization gave no money in 2024 according to OpenSecrets.
This is where some business association guy is explaining that Canadians are overreacting to the direct threat to their sovereignty, by their former greatest ally and friend.
I promise you, I completely understood what was said and what was meant.
If you were forced to guess, and the penalty for guessing wrong was your immediate execution, what would your guess be? Yeah, exactly.
He's explaining how the consequence of the tariffs is the targeting of Bourbon because it is so American specific. His organization does represent Bourbon before KY and Federal Congress after all so his targeted audience is going to be US lawmakers.
Apologies for the upcoming harsh language, but I feel that you are not listening for understanding:
Fuck your Bourbon industry.
Fuck the notion of "intended audience" when the whole world is watching and listening.
Your president is threatening our sovereignty.
Unjust and unfair pulling of American product?
Would you like to know who has the abso-fucking-lutely least weight in judging what is just or unjust when my sovereignty is threatened?
That's right, some fuckface beverage rep. You rep merely one product among a multitude that we're going scorched earth on.
Now, since the topic is reading for understanding, do you think you can pick up what I'm putting down?
