25. Originally, BC's Premier had alcohol coming from red states removed from the shelves.

Eby "said the widening of the ban to cover all alcohol comes in response (to) the latest news from the United States, including threats of additional tariffs on the dairy industry... He said the escalation comes both because of Trump’s newest threats and the recognition that many British Columbians don’t want to see American products on shelves anymore." (bolding mine)

I suspect the good will of Canadians is going to be harder to recover than it will be to end the tariff war.
