#breakingnews #canada #markcarney #trump

📌 In this episode, we explore how a quiet shift in Canadian purchasing habits and provincial policies created a sudden turning point for Sour Puss — an American brand that depended almost entirely on Canada for its sales. What began as a response to tariff tensions quickly evolved into a broader realignment in how alcohol moves across the border.

🎯 Key Topics to Cover:

The rapid decline of U.S. alcohol exports: falling spirits and wine shipments and the sudden disappearance of Sour Puss from Canadian shelves.

Provincial actions: LCBO, SAQ, and others freezing U.S. imports and prioritizing domestic products during a volatile tariff cycle.

Changing sentiment: Canadians shifting travel, purchasing, and consumption patterns toward non-U.S. options.

Economic impact: how missing Canadian demand affected distributors, suppliers, and retailers across both countries.

The relocation decision: Phillips Distilling moving Sour Puss production to Montreal to stabilize supply and avoid tariff disruptions.

Operational advantages: Station 22’s added capabilities, including canning lines and local customization, that U.S. facilities could not match.

Long-term implications: how stability and predictable policy environments influence where companies choose to produce and invest.
