Starting on Tuesday, you will no longer be able to purchase American products at Liquor Marts in Manitoba.
In response to United States President Donald Trump's tariffs, the Manitoba government is directing Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries (MBLL) to stop the sale of American products in the province, as announced by Wab Kinew.
“Trump’s tariff tax is an attack on Canadians,” said Kinew. “We support the federal response to these tariffs and here in Manitoba, we’re stopping the sale of American products at Manitoba liquor marts. How you choose to spend your money is one of the most important decisions you as a consumer can make. There are plenty of great Manitoba breweries and distilleries to support instead.”
Kinew said the province will roll out more supports for Manitoba businesses and workers throughout the week in response to the tariffs. Manitoba's U.S Trade Council is set to meet Monday to discuss the impacts of the tariffs and the province's response.
