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.
They were mostly ruled illegal last week, but stay in place until the supreme Court can hear an appeal
Hopefully the damage is done and Canadians keep at not buying USA goods, most power to them.
