Beer and Russian liquors are targeted for removal.
Liquor stores across Canada are removing products of Russian origin due to the country's invasion of Ukraine.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation, the LCBO, the Manitoba Liquor Mart, and the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation will all remove Russian products.
The LCBO will be told to stop selling the products by the Ontario Finance Minister.
The LCBO will be ordered to remove all products produced in Russia from store shelves in response to the Russian government's aggression against the Ukrainian people.
The move comes hours after Steven Del Duca wrote to the LCBO's CEO with a similar request.
Ontario joins Canada’s allies in condemning the Russian government’s act of aggression against the Ukrainian people, and will direct the LCBO to withdraw all products produced in Russia from store shelves.
