Dan Nolan, co-owner of Tommy's Speakeatery in Regina, Saskatchewan, has decided to eliminate all US products from his pub, including takeout boxes, in response to changing tariff policies under President Trump. This shift includes sourcing alternatives from Canadian and Mexican suppliers for ingredients like bourbon and fresh produce. Nolan expresses frustration over disrespectful rhetoric towards Canada, asserting that the pub aims to support local producers amid economic challenges, especially post-COVID. The establishment emphasizes a commitment to high-quality, made-from-scratch food and adapting creatively to circumvent reliance on American imports.
Our imports of bourbon, American whiskey, lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, and seasonal vegetables - we are now looking to have a non-American supplier for all of it.
So we're doing our part in protest to make sure that our voices are heard and that we're supporting our own producers as much as possible during another absolutely unnecessary economic hardship.
I don't have anything against our neighbors, but some of the rhetoric has gone too far in disrespecting our nation, such as referring to our prime minister as the governor and threatening our sovereignty.
A passion for locally sourced food made from scratch drives our business, reflecting our commitment to high-quality dining experiences while making a political statement.
