Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she does not plan to retaliate against U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of a 50 per cent tariff on Canadian goods with an alcohol ban.
She told her provincewide call-in radio show Saturday 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.
“People should understand that the Americans have not banned a single product from Canada from going into the United States, so it’s a pretty extraordinary measure to put a ban in place,” she said.
