Since I am less and less a drinker in recent years, and never was a huge alcohol consumer, I had forgotten what's up in the world and was vaguely puzzled about the disappearance of most of the spiced rum that I prefer to splash in a once-yearly holiday eggnog binge.
Then this reminded me. As much as I care not for the dumbassery of our current gaggle of premiers, the provincial variants of liquor control boards are totally within their rights to sell what they want.
US distillers can suck it up and work on their domestic problems, maybe?
But this was a reminder that buyers have power, too - if we're not *buying* US distillery products, there's no reason LCBO/SAQ/NSLB/other prov. chains should be bothering to bring it in.
Incidentally, Cabot Trail makes and damned awesome, RUM_BASED, Maple Cream liqueur that's just damn fine in eggnog.
Or just in a coffee. Thanks, Nova Scotia!
@johannab Capitalism is The One True religion right up until the holy market says ‘no’. Then suddenly it’s all entitlement. ‘gimme socialism this’ and ‘I need handouts that’. Fuggem.
