Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced on Sunday that all American liquor will be removed from LCBO shelves starting Tuesday, in retaliation for the U.S. imposing tariffs on Canadian products. Ford stated that the LCBO, the province's sole alcohol wholesaler, will also remove American products from its catalogue, preventing Ontario-based restaurants and retailers from ordering or restocking U.S. products. This move comes after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, citing a 'major threat' of illegal immigration and drugs.

“As the only wholesaler of alcohol in the province, LCBO will also remove American products from its catalogue so other Ontario-based restaurants and retailers can’t order or restock U.S. products.” Less than one per cent of fentanyl and illegal crossings into the U.S. comes from Canada, however, the federal government has started lobbying efforts with D.C. officials about their $1.3-billion border security enhancements.
