Originally, Premier David Eby was only going to ban the sale of alcohol from red states, now he is banning all of it. Good. Need to punish the idiots who didn't vote as well.

Premier’s statement on removing all U.S. alcohol from BCLIQUOR stores

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement in response to the latest threats from the United States:

news.gov.bc.ca

“Today, we are ordering the removal of all American beer, wine, spirits and refreshment beverages from the shelves at BCLIQUOR stores. The stores carry hundreds of types of U.S. alcohol that the BC Liquor Distribution Branch will also no longer be purchasing.

“We are taking this action in response to escalating threats from south of the border. Most recently, U.S. President Donald Trump made new threats against Canada’s dairy and lumber industries – and there are reports he has been musing about redrawing the border.

“Last week, we took ‘red state’ liquor off our shelves in a targeted move. In the face of ongoing threats, including to Canada’s dairy and lumber industries, we are expanding the list of targeted American products.

“We have heard the voices of people in British Columbia who are justifiably upset by American threats – and want to see us take this step.

Trump whining on Twitter that Canada isn't allowed to tax energy exports from their country (presumably because someone told him the US explicitly isn't allowed to do that?) after Canada refused to play the will he/won't he game with him and cancel their tarrifs is peak "schoolyard bully got decked in the face" energy.

To be fair, he did say he would Stop the Steel.

They also might blow up the meter to make sure Trump can't just flipflop again.

Pretty good chance, yep.

In fairness to @Joey D it wasn't his game, but he's the one who gets stuck with the bill.

Oh sure. Was aimed at the Trump administration not individuals. Unlike many of the things Trump said he'd do pre-election - that he's gone to do post-election, that for some reason Trump supporters are now 'Surprised Pikachu' at, i don't think heavy tariffs on Canada were on that play list.

I was definitely surprised by the aggression toward Canada. China I expected.

That being said, everyone who knew anything about Trump should have known that he'd mess around with absolutely any country over anything. So it's not like this is out of left field entirely, or somehow out of character.

Funny that he was elected on a promise to take the US into a new golden age. It's almost as if he is completely unqualified for his job and only managed to get elected because he has a talent for bullying his opponents.

It's a golden shower age.

It's called lying because nobody would have voted for him if they were promised this.

He clearly doesn't even have a talent for that anymore since nobody is backing down from him. I fully expect Mexico to hit us with tariffs next month when he decides they're not "upholding" their end of the deal with the border.

Doesn't matter what he does. They'll blame it all on Biden anyway.

And of course, the rumors that anyone attacking a Tesla dealership should be treated like a domestic terrorist.

Just a US President shilling protection for a private citizen, no cause of concern there....

Sorry, had to update my copy as I already wore out the first one trying to keep track of Donny's brilliant tariff strategy.

Sure, but isn't:

Rupar did give the source, after all...

Incidentally, these two men claim to be within 2cm of each other in height - with the guy on the right supposedly the taller (190cm vs 188cm)...

Given that the guy on the left is going to be shorter due to being in a dumb-ass powerpose and the guy on the right is know to wear lifts... how?
