Spirits maker Diageo says it will cease operations at its bottling facility in Amherstburg, Ont., early next year, as it shifts some of the bottling volume to the U.S.
Its moving its production operations that support American consumers to the USA. The production operations that support Canadian consumers are staying in Canada. With the stupid trump tariffs the company is likely losing sales to American consumers currently because trump is artificially raising the costs of Crown Royal to American consumers. It was likely that many if not all of these Ontario workers would have lost their jobs anyway in time from reduced demand from USA customers for the product they produced on this side of the border because of the tariffs.
Yet you want to punish a Canadian company for keeping operations in Canada serving Canadian consumers? Are the only Canadian companies you will support be ones that never did business in the USA to pass your purity test?
Uh, huh. And what do you think happens to all the Canadian workers that are about to get laid off, when they move those operations to the US? It’s not like they hired Americans to work those jobs, just because they were supplying American consumers.
Any company that is currently in Canada, and exports to the US, employs Canadians for those jobs. So, when they move their operations to the US, in order to avoid tariffs…those Canadians are now out of work. What makes it even more infuriating, is that Crown Royal isn’t paying the tariffs…the companies that are importing to the US, are. They are sacrificing Canadian jobs, in order to cater to their American customers.
That’s why I won’t support those companies. If you think it’s fine to give in to US intimidation, then be my guest. But I don’t.
