Moosehead CEO calls for reduced trade barriers between Canadian provinces
Moosehead Breweries' CEO Andrew Oland is advocating for reduced trade barriers between Canadian provinces. He highlighted that it is often easier to sell beer to the U.S. than within Canada due to strict interprovincial regulations. With U.S. tariffs postponed, Oland emphasized the need for federal and provincial governments to address these barriers. He cited examples from Newfoundland, Quebec, and Ontario that hinder sales for breweries outside those provinces. While the tariff threat remains, New Brunswick's Premier Susan Holt announced that the province will not purchase new U.S. alcohol. She aims to use this pause to encourage discussions on removing internal trade barriers.
