In response to U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has ordered the LCBO to remove all American alcohol products from store shelves and discontinue wholesale sales to restaurants and retailers starting Tuesday. This move affects nearly $1 billion in annual sales of American wine, beer, spirits, and seltzers. Other provinces, including British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Quebec, have announced similar bans on U.S. liquor, emphasizing the importance of supporting Canadian-made products.
Ford stated this measure is part of Ontario’s strategy to retaliate against Trump’s tariffs and protect local businesses. He pledged significant investments to safeguard workers and businesses from economic fallout. The move was met with mixed reactions, with Grape Growers of Ontario CEO Debbie Zimmerman highlighting a potential boost for local wineries. However, economist Moshe Lander criticized the ban, calling it an overreaction that limits consumer choice and alienates political allies in the U.S.
Ontario’s political leaders, including NDP, Liberal, and Green Party representatives, outlined various strategies to address the economic impact of the trade dispute, focusing on job protection, economic diversification, and interprovincial trade reforms. Ford’s aggressive stance against U.S. tariffs aligns with his re-election campaign, as he vows to do “whatever it takes” to defend Ontario’s economy.
