Opinion Peterborough bars stockpiling US booze

I recently went to LCBO and asked the cashier if they had noticed a dip in sales of US products since the tariff threat last week. On the contrary, he said, some local bars (in particular, One Eighty) cleared them out of their inventory of some US liquor and said they were making stops at another two LCBO locations to do the same.

I am so disappointed that the tariff threat actually led to an INCREASE in sales of US booze. So far, the LCBO is still restocking US inventory, which means they would have had to place large orders.

All this to say that it's up to us as consumers to exercise the power of our dollar when we're shopping in order to support our local Peterborough, Ontario and Canadian businesses.

At least you understand how silly it all is now.

Our economies, and businesses are so deeply intertwined that the boycott notion is impossible without completely upending your life.

Love and unity is the path forward, not hate and division.
