The National Post reports in its Thursday, July 23, edition that Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe suggested that provinces blocking American alcohol sales should reconsider due to President Donald Trump's tariff threats, but Ontario Premier Doug Ford rejected the advice. The Post's David Stinson writes that British Columbia Premier David Eby didn't take the advice either, nor did any of the provincial leaders who have banned everything from Kentucky bourbon to California wine. The Post says Mr. Eby was positively Fordian in his bluster this week, saying there was "no chance in hell" he would restore those products to B.C. shelves. Which is good. There is no reason to cave on the prohibition of U.S. alcohol in response to President Donald Trump's latest intransigence. It would be a show of weakness, which would only encourage the U.S. President to apply even more random pressure tactics. Mr. Trump sometimes tries to justify his tariffs for economic reasons, but he's also threatened them over illegal migration, fentanyl and, most recently, smoke from fires. Will he wake up tomorrow and declare that beavers or moose or Canada geese are a scourge that must be dealt with by punitive tariffs? You cannot rule it out.
