BREAKING: Canada BANS U.S. Whiskey—Trump Tariff War BACKFIRES, Brands BLEED Fast | George Will

Canada’s retaliation isn’t just tariffs — it’s the shelf. Provincial liquor systems (starting with Ontario’s LCBO) have blocked purchases and wholesale orders of U.S. alcohol, keeping American whiskey off one of the biggest controlled retail channels in the country. That’s why the hit feels immediate: it’s not “buy less,” it’s can’t buy at all through the main pipeline. Now the blowback is spreading through the industry. Reporting shows U.S. distillers are taking real damage from the boycott — bottles sitting in storage, tastings turning away American labels, and exporters watching sales dry up as the trade war escalates. This briefing breaks down what’s actually happening (province-by-province restrictions vs a single federal “ban”), why whiskey gets singled out fast, and how a tariff fight becomes a brand bleed when your product is pulled from shelves overnight.
