Shelves that held bottles of Kentucky bourbon, Jack Daniels whiskey and Bacardi rum are sitting empty at government-run liquor stores in B.C. Sunday – where bottles of booze have been replaced with signs saying, ‘Buy Canadian Instead.’

The move follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order that imposed 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods.

Premier David Eby, in response, pledged to pull American liquor off the shelves and said provincial stores will stop purchasing it. The premiers of Ontario and Quebec have done the same.
