Canadian Province of Nova Scotia Removes All United States Alcohol from the Shelves of the Nova Scotia Liquor Corp Immediately

On 4March2025 Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston announced effective immediately that the government will direct the Nova Scotia Liquor Corp to remove all alcohol from the United States from their shelves stating that the first time this was done it was considered an effective response and hurt American producers who rely on Canadian markets. There are more than 400 products involved including beer, wine and spirits. These products represent 7% of the NSLC’s number of alcohol listings.

The action of the Government of Nova Scotia is a result of Trumpian Tariffs imposing a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods entering the United States with the exception for oil and gas products which will be subject to a 10% tariff.

Premier Houston remarked, “Donald Trump is a short sighted man who wields his power just for the sake of it, not having any consideration for the destructive impact of his decisions on both Canadians and Americans.”
