What happened: Canadian provinces have accumulated millions of dollars' worth of American liquor removed from shelves and are now deciding how to handle the surplus, with some products nearing expiry.
Why it matters:
- The surplus affects provincial liquor stores and their inventory management.
- Consumers may experience changes in product availability and pricing.
MNN Take: Provinces must balance managing excess stock while minimising waste and financial loss, highlighting challenges in cross-border liquor trade and regulation.
