Manitoba has removed all U.S. Alcohol from provincial liquor stores following new U.S. Tariffs, as part of an ongoing trade dispute. The province has also announced over $100 million in support measures to help businesses and workers affected by the tariffs.
The decision to remove American spirits comes after the U.S. Imposed additional tariffs on Canadian goods, prompting Manitoba to take retaliatory action. Liquor stores under provincial control have been instructed to clear U.S. Products from shelves, with some items set to be destroyed due to expiration dates.
The $100 million in support includes financial aid for affected industries, job training programs, and incentives for local producers. Officials say the measures aim to cushion the economic impact of the trade war on Manitoba’s businesses.
The move highlights the growing economic friction between Canada and the U.S. With Manitoba taking a direct stance in response to the latest trade developments.
