U.S. alcohol will remain off LCBO shelves despite latest Trump comments, Doug Ford says
Ontario’s alcohol ban boosts local wine sales and will stay until U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports are removed, Premier Ford said.
- Following a Monday-night post by Donald Trump, Ontario Premier Doug Ford affirmed he will keep an LCBO ban on U.S. alcohol, suggesting `double down if we have to`.
- Amid U.S. tariffs imposed in March 2025, the Ford government introduced the ban last year and told the Liquor Control Board of Ontario to remove American products.
- Because the Liquor Control Board of Ontario is the sole supplier for Ontario bars and restaurants, the ban removed American products from shelves and stores, impacting the market.
- Trump's Monday Truth Social post pressed negotiations over the Gordie Howe International Bridge seeking `at least one half`, and Carney said Canada paid $4 billion and had a `positive conversation` with the president.
- So far, the move has not yielded an immediate U.S. response, despite Ontario cancelling an Elon Musk's Starlink contract with a penalty and briefly imposing an electricity surcharge to New York, Michigan and Minnesota.
