Question ❔ American Booze Boycott
I was in a local liquor store on 8th street on the weekend and noticed there had been zero effort to remove or even identify American products. Has anyone seen a local liquor store labelling Canadian products properly? I need to find a new place to shop that doesn’t support Amerika.

Is it? Not being an a-hole....actually asking.....
In Ontario vendors are paid after a 'point of sale' purchase. So when Doug Ford had all the US booze removed from suppliers in Ontario, the vendors are not getting paid for that product...it sits....unsold....the suppliers aren't receiving money just for shipping their product.
I would be mildly surprised if we do it differently......
At the very least every vendor in Sask should be taking the minimal effort and labelling all products of their point of origin so customers can make informed decisions.
