March saw the Liquor Control Board of Ontario announce it would no longer stock American alcohol as a result of the tariffs imposed by president Trump, which has since seen the province hit the hardest. 

According to data from Spirits Canada, 5 March to the end of April saw US spirits sales in Canada drop by 66.3%, with total spirits falling 12.8%.
