How would consumers feel a U.S. ban on Canadian booze and other products?

TL;DR

  • The U.S. is planning a ban on Canadian exports of alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and motorcycles.
  • This ban is a response to Canada imposing counter-tariffs on U.S. goods.
  • A ban would be felt more immediately than tariffs, as restricted products would be removed from shelves.
  • Crown Royal whiskey, a Canadian brand, has moved its bottling operations to Alabama.
  • A loophole in the ban allows Canadian whiskies in containers larger than four liters to still be imported into the U.S.
