Days after announcing it would stop purchasing over 50 traditional American liquor products made in Canada as a response to U.S. tariffs, the Government of Saskatchewan has reversed its decision.
“Government has since heard concerns about some of these products that are produced in Canada,” the province said in a statement released Monday afternoon.
“As a result, Saskatchewan is realigning its approach to be consistent with other provinces by focusing on US-produced alcohol and the sale and distribution of 54 Canadian-produced American brands will now resume.”
Late last week, the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) notified retailers and distributors that 54 American-branded products would no longer be sold or distributed in Saskatchewan.
