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.
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.
