    A lot of the wines are out of California. Both the state as a whole and the wine-producing regions in it tend to not be too keen on Trump.

      That’s California’s problem with the rest of their own country and their POTUS, not Canada’s problem.

      In either of those counties the minority percentages are the wealthy land owners who put huge Trump signs along the fences of their vinyards and orchards. They’re also the ones who hire the undocumented workers every season, but that’s a whole other discussion.

      Who do you think makes up that 33%?

      Do you think it’s the normal people, or the obscenely wealthy vineyard owners? Take a wild guess.

      Won’t someone think of the poor poor drug dealing capitalists with their measly 40 billion dollar industry!

      The valley itself may have split in Harris’ favor, but how do you suppose the private owners and the shareholders of the publicly traded wine companies voted? Do you think the people who actually pick and ferment the grapes would be that much better off if Canadians had never left the market? As if any downsizing and job-loss wasn’t already in the chamber and waiting for a convenient excuse to do what the ownership class was always gonna do anyway.
