“Alcohol Products Removed from Manitoba Liquor Stores in Response to US Tariffs”

An article written by Steve Lambert, a correspondent for The Canadian Press, was published on March 4, 2025. The story, which is about a minute long to read, informs us that alcohol products are being withdrawn from Manitoba liquor stores.

Manitoba’s Premier, Wab Kinew, has announced through social media that this decision is a reaction to the tariffs implemented by US President Donald Trump. According to the CEO of Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries, around six percent of the corporation’s alcohol products are imported from the US.

The products being withdrawn include 409 spirits, 341 wines, and a selection of other items. In light of the economic impact of these tariffs, Kinew is considering measures to aid those affected. One potential solution he proposed is allowing businesses to postpone tax payments, though he did not elaborate on this.

Investors and interested parties should note that this move could have various economic implications, although the article does not primarily cater to an investment-focused audience.
