one thing about following the /r/BuyCanadian subreddit is folks’ll post a basket full of nothing but cheezies and Canadian Whiskey and go “i’m switching to Canadian products” and you look at their cart and have to suppress your urge to say “please also buy a vegetable, we make some of those here too”

but honestly, if you were making do with nothing but cheetos and jim beam before, I’m still glad you made the switch

I was a bit surprised how whiskey focused this trade war has been so far.

“What’s that going to accomplish, how much whiskey could Canadians possibly drink?”

“Oh. Oh wow. That’s … that much, huh?”

When I’m at home, the cocktail of choice is a Gin & Tonic with waaaay too much lime because they’re easy and dumb and refreshing.

When I’m at a restaurant and nothing on their special cocktail menu appeals, the drink of choice is a Whiskey Sour. They’re just a touch too fussy to make (often) at home, which is why they feel special to order when you’re out: but they’re reliably very good.
