    It’s hard to navigate through that paginated list of items but I found wine, beer and spirits are being tariffed at 25%.

    So one of the demands from the US was to stop the provincial alcohol boycotts and instead they end up with new tariffs for the few provinces not boycotting US alcohol (Alberta, Saskatchewan).

    Even though US booze is still available for sale in Saskatchewan sales are down 40%. With the upcoming tariffs they are likely to decrease more:

      For the record, as an Albertan our province may not have been protesting US alcohol, but I don’t personally know anyone buying any.
