March 5 (Reuters) - Jack Daniel's maker Brown-Forman's CEO Lawson Whiting said on Wednesday Canadian provinces taking American liquor off store shelves was "worse than a tariff" and a "disproportionate response" to levies imposed by the Trump administration.

Several Canadian provinces have taken U.S. liquor off store shelves as part of retaliatory measures against President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Canadians are steering away from U.S. goods, sports events and trips following the recent imposition of tariffs, which have left them stirred, despite the deep ties between the two countries.

Im pretty sure insulting our PM and threatening to annex us is worse but what do I know…

insulting our PM

threatening to annex us

One of these things is not like the other.

Disrespecting our PM by calling him Governor is functionally the same thing as my other point

Who cares if he insults a politician? How is that the problem?

The problem is that he is threatening your sovereignty. Yes I understand that calling him Governor is implying that Canada is merely a state. But that's the problem, not some slight against a figurehead.

So re-read my latest comment. That was my implication
