Shelves that held bottles of Kentucky bourbon, Jack Daniels whiskey and Bacardi rum are sitting empty at government-run liquor stores in B.C. Sunday – where bottles of booze have been replaced with signs saying, ‘Buy Canadian Instead.’

The move follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order that imposed 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods.

Premier David Eby, in response, pledged to pull American liquor off the shelves and said provincial stores will stop purchasing it. The premiers of Ontario and Quebec have done the same.

    Would love to see the same from the Albertan government, but I’m sure Smith is on her knees with her mouth agape for that slimy orange load.

      Fucking Smith looks so goddamn spineless. Everyone else is standing proud while Smith “please no more? What can I do for you?”

        Most other premiers aren’t held bankrupt by UCP crazies who’ll force a leadership review if they don’t toe the fascist line.

        Smith, on the other hand, owes her whole career to appeasing right-wing nutjobs.
