The sepearatists will. But ya, the reality is the stores that didn't pull them still seem to have stock, and it feels like maybe this was triggered by the central warehouses running low on stock. So the the government purchase hold didn't have much additional effect, it's been consumer behaviour.
But it's also probably from her folding like a lawn chair to the demands of US governors. It certainly isn't Albertans asking for this.
Maybe before the order goes through Carney can slap a 50% tariff on US booze.
