Ontario shoppers say they would not buy American alcohol even if the province reverses its approach and allows U.S. products back onto liquor store shelves. The reported return of American booze is linked by outlets to Canada’s broader trade negotiations with the United States, where alcohol rules are cited as a sticking point.
One account highlights that the issue sits alongside other sectoral trade concerns being raised in federal talks, including tariffs affecting steel, forestry and auto industries. Another outlet quotes Toronto resident Peter Olson, who says he would not purchase U.S. alcohol if Ontario Premier Doug Ford decides to reverse course. The reporting focuses less on any policy details and more on consumer sentiment, with shoppers expressing reluctance to buy American brands such as wines and bourbons even if they become available again.
