Canadian Province Threatens U.S. Alcohol Ban if Trump Imposes Tariffs– www.breitbart.com Source Link Excerpt:
David Eby, premier of British Columbia, suggested last week that Canadians might stop buying American alcohol if President Donald Trump follows through with his tariff threat against Canada.
Eby has proposed several retaliatory measures against U.S. tariffs, which Trump has threatened to impose if Canada does not do more to secure its border. The alcohol threat, which Eby floated last Tuesday, seemed to capture the most attention.
“When you’re at the grocery store and you have a chance to buy a product right now, you’re looking carefully at the labels to support Canadian jobs and to support Canada at this critical time,” Eby remarked at a press conference.
The B.C. premier went on to observe that his province is a major market for U.S. alcohol products.
“As a result, our decision not to purchase American alcohol definitely sends a message. It is one of the things that could be on the table in response to these tariffs that are completely unjustified,” he said.
