an alcohol ban.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">She told her call-in radio show a ban is an extraordinary measure, and she is leaving it up to retailers and consumers to decide how to stock their shelves and whether to drink American products with the looming tariffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text mv-16 l-inset text-pb-8\" data-sophi-feature=\"interstitial\"><a

Canadian alcohol producers are adjusting in light of Trump\u2019s threatened tariffs<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Several Canadian provincial liquor boards stopped purchasing American alcohol last year in response to Trump\u2019s previous tariff threats and annexation comments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">While Saskatchewan and Alberta returned American booze to the shelves after a few months, major purchasing provinces like Ontario and Quebec have not resumed stocking U.S. alcohol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">It has become a pressure point among both political parties in the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Smith says she prefers to stay calm and win the hearts and minds of Americans instead of retaliating with an alcohol ban.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open this photo in gallery: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith provides an update in Calgary on
