Example.
Liquor sales. Ford wants LCBO to remove all American liquor from the shelves if the tariffs go through. LCBO is one of the biggest buyers of alcohol in the world. Obviously that would devastate many American producers.
My question is, why have we prioritized for so many years American producers, and not let Canadian companies compete more? Specifically why has our government worked for so many years to restrict inter provincial trade on alcohol sales? Up till 2019 it was a CRIME to transport beer across provincial lines. Many provinces still don't allow direct to consumer sales across Canada, etc, etc.
And now these folks in charge want to tell us they will change all that? What a bloody joke.

American products are in demand because they produce good products. Canadian whiskey is mostly rack liquor due to the lack of laws around production and blending. Canada still does pretty well on the export of hard liquor exports, it something like top 15.
