Toronto/CMEDIA: Torontonians reportedly opposed paying taxes worth $8 mil to in store American liquor and took to the streets.
Nearly $80-million worth of American alcohol from the Liquor Board of Ontario’s (LCBO) shelves were pulled sixteen months ago by Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government, where it has been stored since March 2025 and $2.6 million worth of liquor out of the $80 million has since expired, the LCBO said.
Unlike some of the other provinces — Quebec, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador — that have returned some of their American alcohol to shelves, and donated profits from purchases to charity, Ontario refused to take any actions.
Meanwhile It has cost Ontario residents approximately $8 million in taxpayer dollars, according to the LCBO.
