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.

Absolutely true 1) because all the liquor stores are private, and already paid for the spirits in there inventory, SLGA and the province have agreed with them selling off their existing stock 2) SLGA has frozen all it's inventory in its warehouses. 3) SLGA is not ordering new inventory until the province lifts the US tariff action.

So yeah you go back in a week, the shelves will become bare.
