Republican bill targets Canada’s provincial booze bans

By Mike Crawley – CBC News

A Republican lawmaker in Washington is firing back at Canadian provinces for retaliating against U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs by banning the sale of U.S. alcohol. 

Claudia Tenney, a member of the House of Representatives whose district includes parts of northern New York, has introduced a bill aimed at punishing Canada over restrictions on U.S. alcohol imports imposed by eight provincial governments.

She calls her bill the Combating Attacks on our National Alcoholic Drinks by Allies Act, or the CANADA Act.
