B.C. has pulled red state liquor from the shelves in response to Trump's tariff
Eby launched a series of measures responding to the tariffs coming Tuesday, including directing the BC Liquor Distribution Branch to immediately stop buying American liquor from "red states," as well as directing Crown corporations to stop buying American goods and services.
The BC Liquor Distribution Branch sent a letter to all industry associations on Feb. 1, saying they support the provincial and federal government decisions and actions in response to the tariffs.
The Branch said in a statement that effective immediately, it has halted the generation of import purchase orders of U.S.-made liquor products manufactured in Republican states.
It said on-hand inventory of the top five selling brands, specifically their products manufactured in the U.S. states under Republican leadership, will be put on hold and unavailable for customers, these products include brands of Jack Daniels, Bacardi Rum, Titos Vodka, Jim Beam and Bulleit Bourbon.

Now, THAT'S sending a message! Make Republican Senators, Congressional Reps and Governors explain to their constituents why their communities are losing money and jobs!
