      This is not the Avro Arrow, this is a soft drink can.

      It is cheaper to buy American, than to build new can production assembly lines in Canada.

      The only way Canadian businesses will build a plant is if it is cheaper, including the startup costs of the machinery.

      We should make our own proper 500-millilitre cans like in Europe. Ditch the legacy 473-millilitre silliness.

      I find it wild that we can’t manufacture a cost competitive can in Canada, even with a 60 to 75% market on the American competitor due to Trump’s tariffs. I’m guessing part of the issue is uncertainty (e.g..the tariffs could go to 0% or 300% tomorrow depending on Trump’s mood. You’d think with the volume of cans used in Canada that there’d be space to compete. How many can manufacturers are there in the US?

      ETA:
      Google AI is telling me there are 277 in a country with 10× the population of Canada. Though that includes cans other than beer. So seems like it’s plausible we could do it here…

      Craft Beer in Canada just isn’t affordable to buy. International beer from Europe, Japan, etc… is cheaper in most cases then Canadian Craft beer, and it’s much better quality.

      Why would I pay 3-4$ for a craft beer that tastes at best all right instead of slightly cheaper (in most cases) for a nice German or Irish beer?

      Canada can do a lot better to try to streamline production and get costs down so that companies can lower the price of their product and be more competitive.

      We make our beer and aluminum too
      As for the cans, no idea what to do
      Quart bags of milk did we pioneer
      Perhaps do the same for Canadian beer?
      Get your „Sack ‚o‘ Suds“ at the grocery store
      No deposit or empties, so go back for more!

      it’s funny because they’ve basically killed glass bottles entirely, i used to get the big glass bombers of various craft beers and the entire industry moved to tall cans. and now they’re struggling with cans? what’s next, tetrapacks or goonbags of beer?

      Just one time I’d like to hear a success story out of this fucking country that doesn’t have to do with hockey

      Beer in plastic bottles just like coke is a thing in some countries, why not use that?

      Ok, so the Americans turn Canadian-smelted aluminum into sheets, then send it back to Canada to be made into cans. The article talks about how expensive it is to manufacture those sheets. I just don’t buy it. Anyone in the industry here that can explain why it’s so hard (and expensive) to create aluminum sheets in Canada?

    16. abc_123_anyname on

      Surely the USA isn’t manufacturing can sheet from Canadian aluminum for just the domestic and Canadian markets.

      Canada needs to think BIGGER. We have the raw material and smelt it – why not also process it and export it to the world?

      Beer is sooooo expensive. I only drink strong beer (6-7%+) and they go for $4 up to $8+. I’ll never forget the day after covid everything opened up and I paid $35 for a cocktail and a beer in Downtown Toronto. Everything made here is more expensive

      I do think that Canada as a country should just start investing in these things. Seems like short term loss for major long term gains and not just financially.

      Hold up,,, THOR Explorations just discover a huge aluminum deposit in Saskatchewan!

      https://www.mining.com/thor-project-possible-game-changer-for-north-americas-aluminum-supply-chain-ceo-says/

      Maybe it’s time to fast track the mining, get some processing plants built, and start manufacturing Aluminum goods.

      Give the good people of Saskatchewan something to do besides keep an eye on their dog that has been trying to run away for three days!

      Get in it SASK! We need beer cans!

      I noticed a lot of drinks went from the tall cans to the skinny cans about 2 years ago “Ole” and “founders” specifically but the prices went up
