Parent company officials say trade dispute is causing ‘significant headwinds’ and ‘significant impact’

The parent company of American alcohol producers such as Jack Daniel’s whisky and Woodford Reserve bourbon says sales to Canada dropped 62 per cent during the latest fiscal quarter compared to a year ago, as American alcohol remains off the shelves in many provinces.

After U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods in early March, a number of provinces retaliated, pulling American alcohol from store shelves. Alberta and Saskatchewan have since lifted the ban.

      This. The US seems incapable of understanding that others don’t see the US as the greatest, bestest country ever. And that there’s no way in hell that they want to be a part of that clusterflop.

      They still being psyop-ed into believing it was the tariffs eh? I guess they’re trying to make it look like we’re totally overreacting so they’d have an excuse to punish us even further.
