“The Distilled Spirits Council, an industry group, estimated exports of U.S. distilled spirits to Canada at $43.4 million over the first six months of 2025, down about 62% from the same period in 2024. Exports of American wine were about 67% lower, the group said, citing U.S. trade data.”

Good job, Canada! Keep your elbows up!

It's getting worse. They're actively combing curriculum for bad stuff and lightening it or taking it out entirely. Trail of tears, Japanese internment, banana republics, etc.

I had a conversation a few months ago with a frat bro who didn't know the origin of the phrase "Banana Republic". When I explained to him that we destabilized and exploited south American countries for shit like bananas and coca cola, he outright refused to believe it. And after roughly 20 minutes of online sources the only thing he relented was that "The times were different and that was just the cost of doing business."

We killed people for cheap fruit and sugar water. Murdered. Gunned them down in the streets and their beds while they slept.

The American empire isn't going to fucking collapse because we show an ounce of remorse for the evil that's been perpetuated in the name of "our freedoms."
