An American Import Ban Now Blocks Some Canadian Dairy, Motorcycles and Alcohol

As of Tuesday, an American import ban means some Canadian products — dairy, motorcycles and alcohol among them — can no longer cross the border into the United States at all, CBC reports. The same report calls it the latest escalation in the Canada-U.S. trade war, with booze taking centre stage in the dispute. The bluntness is the story: this is not a tariff that raises the price of a case of Canadian beer at the border, but a legal barrier to the shipment existing on the U.S. side of it.
