Ontario has taken the dramatic step of pulling more than 3,600 US-produced alcohol products from its Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) catalogue. Premier Doug Ford describes this as the province’s “first round of retaliation” against Donald Trump’s latest raft of tariffs targeting Canadian goods.
As the exclusive wholesaler in the province, the LCBO’s decision effectively cuts off the supply of key American brands to not only Ontario’s consumers, but also to bars, restaurants and retailers that rely on LCBO stock. The agency’s website was temporarily taken offline to remove US listings, though customers can still purchase existing inventory in-store for the time being.
The move carries significant weight: Ontario is one of the world’s largest buyers of American alcohol, selling nearly £570 million (CA$965 million) worth of US wine, beer, cider and spirits each year. Ford has indicated these products will remain off shelves and in LCBO warehouses until the White House reverses its position.
I am not suprised by the reaction on mainstream american tv to the acts being undertaken by this load of shysters now in government, and they crossed the line with the "aint fought no wars in 40 years" comment, glad starmer made the point in the commons and put them straight but has there been any "man up" response and admit they got the facts incorrect.. No.. I have never seen the amount of comments on the BBC website reacting to vance before, many tens of thousands.
And trump switches stuff off, putin takes advantange and trump says he is doing what anyone would taking advantage !! WFT and even more people are dying, vital infrastructure getting destroyed and Zelensky is apparently the problem to deal with not putin ??
Hopefully the americans come to their senses and get rid of Krasnov asap, he is as bent as a nine bob note as the old saying goes.
Europe needs to step up fast, France has it's own GPS sattelites, we dont really need the american one if we all hook into the french one, trump is deserting and betraying Europe to concentrate on the pacific, wonder what will happen when china starts on Taiwan, will he be the same with them ?
Got to think that the russians will share the Krasnov data with china when the time comes and trump will just have to give in again and betray the Taiwanese just as he has betrayed us all in Europe.
I can only conclude that this is part of a kompromat long game started many years ago with the goal of changing the world order and the russians cannot believe that they have a second chance with an asset in the white house again. trump has no defence against the stuff they have on him and he can only capitulate and do their bidding...or am i seeing this the wrong way and need to get the bacofoil out and make me a hat ?
I so hope that the EU have a backbone and stop putting up with this nonsense and act fast to support Ukraine with more than words and meetings.
pretty sure I said that Trump was going to ally with Russia and try to pardon Derek Chauvin but of course people insulted me at the time. Well I called it didnt I and hopefully I am out of this country before Russia and the US invade.
Trump's desperate move to forge truce between warring allies
Insiders say Trump is deeply aware that the feud threatens to fracture the very base he helped curate to facilitate his return to power and if the divide can't be mended it could reshape or even break — the MAGA movement in the years to come.
Bannon's allies even openly float his name as a 2028 presidential contender, emboldened by his surprising second-place finish in the CPAC straw poll — a result that signals his enduring grip on MAGA's most hardline elements.
For now, Trump is caught between two titans of the right, each with his own vision for the movement. Bannon, the battle-scarred populist warrior, or Musk, the billionaire outsider.
