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.

    If I remember correctly in order to save costs they’re moving production for Crown sold in the US to the US, and Crown sold in Canada to Quebec. Not ideal but not as bad as I’ve seen the headlines frame it.
