    sure, recall the ban. let the market decide.

    hopefully Canadians will continue not buying american stuff, and there won’t be a business case to stock it

        They’ll care about price. I think the tariffs will ensure that the prices are just a bit higher than domestic stuff… Enough to have the drunkards reaching for Canadian brands.

        I don’t know much about alcoholics, but I’m pretty sure they don’t have a lot of brand loyalty, and they’ll drink just about anything that contains alcohol, regardless of flavor, or quality. As long as they can get it cheap.

        Do they represent a significant percentage of alcohol sales, though? Even if they drink three times what the average person does, if they only represent 3% of the population, they’re little more than a rounding error.

          According to CAMH 25% are admitted heavy drinkers in Ontario. That’s just admitted.

            Doesn’t mean they’re rural or can’t afford domestic booze, though.
