Parent company officials say trade dispute is causing ‘significant headwinds’ and ‘significant impact’

The parent company of American alcohol producers such as Jack Daniel’s whisky and Woodford Reserve bourbon says sales to Canada dropped 62 per cent during the latest fiscal quarter compared to a year ago, as American alcohol remains off the shelves in many provinces.

After U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods in early March, a number of provinces retaliated, pulling American alcohol from store shelves. Alberta and Saskatchewan have since lifted the ban.

    Canada had a defence industry with 1st class fighter jets being developed. The U.S. insisted on it being shut down as they didn’t want an independent well armed neighbour. Canada is heavily integrated into norad - it doesn’t spend the same proportionally as the U.S. on military but that’s because it doesn’t partake in the global military power projection like the U.S. so much. if you look at what the U.S. spends on actual defense of homeland, Canada’s proportional spending is close.
