“Every year, LCBO sells nearly $1 billion worth of American wine, beer, spirits and seltzers. Not anymore,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Sunday.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Doug Ford had considered restrictions on U.S.-made alcohol being sold to the Liquor Control Board of Ontario before.
Now he’s taking action. The Ontario premier on Sunday morning announced that starting Tuesday, American products will be removed from shelves across the province, in response to President Donald Trump’s recent tariffs.
“Every year, LCBO sells nearly $1 billion worth of American wine, beer, spirits and seltzers. Not anymore.
“Starting Tuesday, we’re removing American products from LCBO shelves. 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.
“There’s never been a better time to choose an amazing Ontario-made or Canadian-made product. As always, please drink responsibly.”
