Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that the LCBO will stop stocking U.S. brands, removing them from shelves and catalogues as a retaliatory measure against U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. This move follows warnings from the EU and Canadian officials regarding escalating trade tensions.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a significant shift in the province's liquor policies, declaring that the LCBO , Ontario 's state-owned liquor retailer, will cease stocking U.S. brands. Effective Tuesday, these brands will be removed from both LCBO shelves and their online catalogues. This move comes as part of a broader retaliatory effort against U.S. measures targeting Canadian steel and aluminum exports.
Ford stated that the decision was necessary to protect Ontario's industries and workers. The LCBO has not yet provided a detailed list of the affected U.S. brands, but the decision is expected to have a considerable impact on the availability of American wines, spirits, and beers in the province. This development follows warnings from the European Union and Canadian officials regarding the potential for escalating trade tensions. The EU has expressed concern about the U.S. tariffs and their impact on global markets. Canada's retaliation strategy includes targeting a range of U.S. products, including whiskey, cranberries, and maple syrup. These retaliatory measures are designed to pressure the U.S. government to reconsider its tariffs on Canadian goods. The situation is fluid, with ongoing negotiations and discussions between Canadian and U.S. officials. The outcome of these talks will determine the future of trade relations between the two countries and the impact on Canadian consumers and businesses.
