Ontario will stop selling all American alcohol in response to President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian imports. Premier Doug Ford announced that the province’s liquor stores will remove U.S. products from their shelves and catalog. This decision comes after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau imposed retaliatory tariffs. The LCBO, one of the largest wholesalers of alcohol in Ontario, sells nearly $1 billion worth of American alcohol each year. The move is in line with other Canadian provinces, such as Nova Scotia and British Columbia, which are also taking similar actions. The LCBO will no longer sell American alcohol online or in stores indefinitely. This decision will impact both Ontario consumers and American liquor producers. Ford encouraged consumers to support Ontario-made and Canadian-made products instead. The U.S. is one of Canada’s primary importers of hard liquor, with an estimated $320 million in sales. The LCBO currently lists over 3,600 products from 35 U.S. states. Overall, this decision reflects Canada’s response to the economic impact of President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods.
