Saskatchewan Slaps 50% Tariff on U.S. Alcohol | US News

Saskatchewan’s Premier Scott Moe just dropped a bombshell: a 50% tariff on American alcohol, part of Canada’s escalating trade war with the U.S. While most of Canada has already pulled American booze from shelves, Saskatchewan and Alberta remain the last holdouts — and now even those are getting hit hard, with sales down 40%. Moe backs PM Mark Carney’s broader $20 billion retaliatory tariffs, arguing Canada didn’t start this fight but must protect itself. With the tariff kicking in September 8th, fans of American spirits better stock up fast — because this move signals provinces are ready to play hardball, even with the U.S. as their top trading partner.
