U.S. President Donald Trump has followed through on his tariff threats against Canada and Mexico, triggering a trade war.
The president’s executive order hitting the two countries with 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs, with a lower 10 per cent levy on Canadian energy, took effect at 12:01 a.m. ET Tuesday.
Both the federal Canadian government and Ontario government are responding with actions of their own.
One of the measures Ontario Premier Doug Ford has said he would take is removing all American alcohol from the LCBO.
The LCBO website was unavailable shortly before 10 a.m. Tuesday as listings for U.S. products were being removed.
NEW: LCBO website is currently unavailable.
