Ontario and British Columbia are removing American alcohol from liquor store shelves in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods. The move escalates the trade dispute as both countries impose retaliatory tariffs.
American alcohol will disappear from liquor store shelves in Ontario and B.C. as the provinces add their own ammunition to a federal plan aimed at getting the U.S. to back down from tariffs.
“There’s never been a better time to choose an amazing Ontario-made or Canadian-made product,” Ford said in a statement. The moves position alcohol as a key battleground in the trade feud that intensified Saturday when Trump signed an executive order applying 25 per cent tariffs on Canada goods starting Tuesday. He carved out an exception for Canadian energy, which will see a lower 10 per cent duty.
