I spent the summer of ‘91 backpacking in Europe and 100% we had Canadian flags sewn on our packs. The Dutch especially loved us.
I do enjoy Bourbon / American whiskey now and then, the better ones balance out the sweetness and can achieve an outstanding whiskey experience. Some are so cloying and sweet it is just awful. I am pretty sure most the sweetness comes from the carmalized sugars drawn out of the oak in the comparatively aggressive American aging process though, rather than the source grain. I sure seems to be still present in many of the ryes to me.
Canadian ‘rye’ has mostly been a cheap blended whiskey tradition, and despite advertising pretentions has been mostly consumed in mixed drinks, not serious sipping whiskey. I do prefer the 100% rye varieties and have been happy to see more serious Canadian whiskeys appear.
The bigger name brands are all blended and generally rely on bourbons as part of the blend, so wondering how that will play out.
This is the key. It’s an expensive protest.
the more:
- industries,
- big companies,
- regions,
- farmers,
- civil servants
- millionairs/billionairs
- etc…
… that have a chicken to plug with Trusk, the better … the tides might shift very swiftley, and once Trusk lose their “I am afraid of being bullied / financially burdened” cachet, the more likely they end up like Ceauscescou or Ghadaffi (figuratively speaking)
So, yeah kick those companies / millionairse in the balls as hard as you can … sooner or later the pain will reach Trusk
It may be working. S & P 500 is now below where it was on election day, and has been dropping like a rock for the last few weeks. Hopefully the investor class is catching on that Truskism is a bad investment.
donno … I just circle back from a “steelworkers, what do you see on your job due to the tariffs” thread on reddit
… and there is a lot of “Its a complete crisis/shitshow for steel in the USA currently” … but an awful lot of “but … but … it needs to get worse in order to get better” rationalizing
head → table → BAAAM!!!
I demand that you use the traditional derogatory term, “Soviet Canuckistan”. #GenX #ColdWar
There is a Check Point Charlie that uses that term on the only US border you can cross from Canada into Alaska with no customs or immigration office.
You do have to clear Canadian officers on the way back in
