      “The Wine Institute has called on Canada to end the boycotts, contending that they have forced U.S. wine companies to lay off Canadian sales reps and other employees while depriving the Canadian government of millions in tax revenue.”

      Last time I checked, everyone just bought something different, so no, not really lost tax revenue.

      Good this is making headlines. Unfortunately it seems like the loss of their Canadian sales have only resulted in roughly a 3% drop in their total sales. Still good that it seems to be having some effect though, every little bit helps.

      If you’re in LA and your entire business is torpedoed by Canada not giving a shit about your stuff anymore, that’s not a Canada problem, that’s a U.S. problem.

      Californian Winery Closing Because of Trump’s Poor International Policies.

      Fixed it. This ain’t our fault.

      I think most people don’t relish the idea of individuals losing their jobs and income. That said, this is a consequence of the Trump administration’s behaviour. Americans seem prone to forget that fact.

      Sure.

      We can stop the boycott when the US removes their tariffs on Canadian goods and we have a free trade agreement respected by both sides.

      Until then, our family is buying Italian.

      Must be fake news because I have it on high authority that the U.S. doesn’t need anything from Canada.

      And many Canadians have lost their jobs and businesses because of US tariffs. So…🤷‍♀️

      So they ‘Call on Canada’ to do something. But do not call on Trump to change anything. Also, they say the Canadian boycott is due to US tariffs. That is not the reason for the boycotts. If they had simply raised tariffs I think many people would still buy California wines. Canada is boycotting because of the constant and repeated threats to our sovereignty. The US is not acting like an ally. That is the real reason.

      If the California wine called on Trump to stop his threats to Canada, it might have some positive effect.

      Stupid headline that should say Trump’s tariffs and 51st state bullshit is to blame but they are too cowardly to call it out.

      I’m so sad. Those were my favourite wines and I’ve missed them during the boycott. I was hoping one day to be able to buy them again, but certainly not while the Americans are as they are currently…

      How can our small market have such an effect? Californians always bragging how they are like 4th largest economy in the world. Why couldn’t they find other American states or other countries as customers? It boggles the mind.

      So it sounds like many American businesses are operating at margins where losing 10% of their market leads to them closing. Maybe the president should keep that in mind when starting stupid trade wars.

      I feel bad for states that are traditionally not republican, but that’s how business works. In the end, your president is the president of all your 50 states.

      I almost felt bad until I saw the winery is in San Joaquin county – which the republicans won in 2024. Fuck em. You made this bed, shit in it and are now deservedly rolling around in it.

      For a Canadian this is great news! Any harm done to the USA economy is a plus for Canada.

      Also there is some false statements in this article: “The Wine Institute has called on Canada to end the boycotts, contending that they have forced U.S. wine companies to lay off Canadian sales reps and other employees while depriving the Canadian government of millions in tax revenue.”

      Just to note that the Canadian Government isn’t losing millions in tax revenue. This is a blatent lie.

      The only issues this will cause is teh disruption of supply chain and Job impacts. Not much to worry about unless you work for a USA company.

      Welcome to the club. Do you think the tariffs against Canada have no consequences? Your president spends his time saying the US doesn’t need Canada, so what’s the problem

    41. MissKrys2020 on

      One of the comments was that the Canadian government is missing out on tax revenue. Um, we will still buy wine, just not from you
