    To be fair, I’m boycotting everything from the US. Alcohol just seems to have a disproportionate impact. Perhaps because it’s one of the few things where it’s easy to find Canadian alternatives?

      Layman’s understanding with half an American education: After prohibition broke, alcohol was made a key flow point in our economy, so the stagnation of export is a huge drain. You see the same happening right now with cannabis as that becomes more accepted socially.
