Canadian provinces have begun introducing restrictions on alcoholic products from the United States in response to tariffs imposed by Washington on Canadian goods, reports CBC.
Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an order imposing a 25% import tariff on Canadian goods, except for energy resources, which will be subject to a 10% tariff.
In response, Canadian provinces have started removing American alcoholic beverages from sales. In Ontario, U.S. products are being removed not only from store shelves but also from catalogs to prevent local shops and restaurants from ordering them.
In British Columbia, authorities have begun pulling alcohol brands from states where governors belong to the Republican Party. The province has also announced a halt to the purchase of spirits from such regions.
Nova Scotia, in addition to banning American beverages, plans to withdraw from several deals with U.S. partners. Similar measures are being implemented in Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba, and Prince Edward Island, notes CBC.
