Ontario won't bring U.S. alcohol back to LCBO as Alberta, Saskatchewan relent
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he won't be ordering the LCBO to restock alcohol from the United States, despite plans from neighbouring provinces to begin selling American booze again. Speaking at an event hosted by the Globe and Mail on Monday, Ford addressed plans by the premiers of Saskatchewan and Alberta to restore American-made alcohol in their provinces. 'Not until he gets rid of these tariffs — why should I? It's a small kitchen table issue, (but) Kentucky knows how important bourbon is to the economy,' Ford said when asked if he would follow the western provinces. U.S.-made alcohol was removed from the stores of the LCBO at the beginning of March as part of a series of measures designed to punish the United States for levying tariffs on Canadian exports like steel, aluminum and cars. Story continues below advertisement The Ontario government estimates that just under $1 billion of U.S. alcohol was sold by the LCBO last year, across 3,600 different products.

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Roughly 48 per cent of those sales was American liquor, of which the LCBO sold 22 million litres last year for $461 million. Wine made up around 42 per cent of the total with 21 million litres sold at $408 million. Just $7 million worth of U.S. beer was sold by the LCBO last year, according to figures from the LCBO, while the remainder includes direct orders for some retailers and pre-made ready-to-drink beverages. Ontario's move was mirrored across parts of the country. With tariffs still in place, however, other jurisdictions appear to have relented. Ford said that, while the booze ban has not forced Trump to revisit the tariff issue, he still believes it is an important diplomatic tool. 'It might be a small dollar figure, but when we're the largest purchaser of alcohol in the entire world, the LCBO, you have to use that leverage. And thousands and thousands of jobs are being lost in Kentucky and in California…. there's one person causing this problem,' he said. 'Don't mess with people's booze, they lose their minds. Simple as that.'

Fewer Americans are visiting Canada. Ad campaigns assure them they're welcome here
Late last year, Dan Davis of Cleveland, Ohio, began planning a motorcycle trip with friends this summer that includes several days in Ontario. But those plans became a little uncertain after U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January and imposed tariffs on Canada, sparking a trade war. That, coupled with Trump's frequent threats to make Canada the 51st state, has sparked anger among many Canadians. Davis noted that, in February, Canadians booed the U.S. national anthem (new window) at several NHL hockey games, and in March, the Canadian government ran a billboard campaign (new window) in a dozen U.S. states, including Ohio, declaring that Trump's tariffs are a tax. Those things just made us wonder, 'Wow, are we going to be welcome in Canada?' said Davis, adding that the licence plates on the group's motorcycles reveal they're from Ohio — a state Trump won in the 2024 election. On a motorcycle, you're a little more vulnerable, he said. All it takes is one person to say, 'You know what, I'm going to show these guys a lesson,' whether it's vandalizing a bike or … throwing a beer can at you. Fewer U.S. tourists visiting Canada Since Trump took office and Canada-U.S. relations have become strained, fewer Canadians are visiting the U.S. (new window) , and fewer Americans are coming to Canada. The number of trips Americans took to Canada (new window) by car declined 10.7 per cent in April and 8.4 per cent in May compared to the same time last year. Air travel declined 5.5 per cent in April and 0.3 per cent in May. Some tourism associations worry a number of Americans may be staying away because they fear a chilly reception, so they've launched ad campaigns which assure their neighbours they'll be warmly welcomed. It's a worthy cause considering what's at stake: The majority of Canada's tourists come from the U.S., and they spent $15.3 billion (new window) in the country last year. It was really important for us to send the message to these visitors … that they are truly welcome, not to be scared to visit us, said Isabelle Charlebois, general director of Tourism Eastern Townships, a region in southeastern Quebec near the U.S. border. The group launched a TV ad in late May, running in New England and New York state. Set in the Eastern Townships, it shows a U.S. tourist whispering sheepishly to a hotel clerk that he's American. The clerk smiles knowingly, and gives the American a big, warm hug. Come hug it out in the Eastern Townships, says the tagline. WATCH | Quebec tourism group offers to 'hug it out': Début du widget Widget. Passer le widget ? Fin du widget Widget. Retourner au début du widget ? Charlebois says the ad campaign was partly inspired by the fact that local tourism operators were fielding numerous calls from concerned Americans. They were calling … asking if they should postpone their trip, or if they will be welcome in Quebec, she said. This relationship we have with our neighbour is really important for us. That's why we sent this message, and I hope it works. 'Perception is reality' In May, out of the 200 businesses surveyed by the Tourism Industry Association of Ontario, 32 per cent reported (new window) lower summer bookings by Americans compared to the same time last year. John Kinney, owner of Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours, says, so far this season, his location just outside Niagara Falls has seen 15 per cent fewer American customers compared to this time last year. Unfortunately, perception is reality, said Kinney. If it's perceived that there's political woes, people say, 'I hear Myrtle Beach is nice.' They just go to a completely different area. To encourage Americans to heard north, Niagara Falls Tourism has launched a page on its website just for them (new window) . Along with listing attractions, it declares, To our friends in the U.S.A. — we can't wait to welcome you! Destination Ontario launched a billboard ad campaign last month in many U.S. border towns inviting Americans to visit Ontario and take advantage of the low Canadian dollar. (Destination Ontario) Photo: (Destination Ontario) Back in Cleveland, Davis spotted a billboard last week on the highway and says he took it as a sign he's welcome in Canada. This time, instead of denouncing Trump's tariffs, the billboard invited Americans to visit Ontario and take advantage of the low Canadian dollar. Destination Ontario, the province's tourism organization, launched the campaign in several U.S. states last month. It's good to see that they are encouraging visitors, said Davis, who is now looking forward to his Ontario trip. We all just need to come together as human beings on both sides of the border and embrace each other. B.C. bear tour operators beckon Americans Over on the West Coast, British Columbia businesses that specialize in bear viewing are also rolling out the welcome mat. More than a dozen took part in a video, posted on YouTube on May 30, which promises Americans open arms and warm hospitality. B.C.'s Commercial Bear Viewing Association, which put together the ad, says it will soon be launched as part of a social media campaign in select U.S. markets. WATCH | B.C. businesses welcome U.S. tourists: Début du widget Widget. Passer le widget ? Fin du widget Widget. Retourner au début du widget ? Marg Leehane, general manager of Great Bear Lodge in Campbell River, B.C., shouted out, You're always welcome, in the video. It's a message she hopes will resonate, as American bookings at her lodge are down by 28 per cent so far compared to this time last year. Americans always make up a good percentage of our visitors, and we're disappointed to not have them coming, she said. I think they're worried the political message will get reflected on them. But of course, that's not how most Canadians feel. Leehane says she's getting more Canadian bookings this year than usual, which helps offset the decline in American customers. Still, she worries that decline could have lasting repercussions. We don't want to lose that pipeline of American visitors, she said. They would have come back as repeat guests. So it's not just this year that we would lose out on those visitors, it's the future years. Sophia Harris (new window) · CBC News ·

Japan's Ruling Party to Launch TikTok Account in June
このページを 日本語 で読む Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party will launch its official TikTok account in June. This was revealed by Takuya Hirai, head of the LDP's Public Relations Headquarters, at an event hosted by the Chinese-owned video-sharing app on June 4. Speaking at the event, Hirai said, "We're finally starting the LDP's official TikTok account this month." He cited the platform's "clear appeal to young people" and its "excellent algorithm" as key reasons for the move. At the event held in Tokyo, TikTok revealed its "Socio-Economic Impact Report," which outlines the app's economic and social impact in Japan. Hirai, who served as Japan's first Minister for Digital Transformation, appeared as a guest speaker. During his remarks, Hirai highlighted a recent initiative in his home prefecture of Kagawa. Popular TikTok creators from nine countries and regions were invited to showcase the area's local charm. "Shops and products featured by these creators garnered significant attention," he said. "In terms of prompting real-world activity, I believe the economic impact is substantial." He also expressed optimism about future collaborations between local governments and TikTok. He linked this potential to the LDP's "Regional Revitalization 2.0" initiative, spearheaded by the Shigeru Ishiba administration. "By expanding the number of people with ties to a region and helping them discover new value, I believe we can create meaningful opportunities moving forward," he said. LDP's Takuya Hirai (center) with TikTok creators AAAtsushi and Meg Ensaka. TikTok now boasts one billion users worldwide, with around 33 million monthly users in Japan across the main app and related services. The economic report was released at a time when TikTok's influence on Japan's economy and society continues to grow. According to the report, TikTok videos have generated economic benefits across various domestic industries. The app's estimated contribution to Japan's nominal GDP is ¥485.5 billion JPY (around $3.4 billion USD). Nobuaki Yasunaga, Executive Officer of TikTok Japan, noted that the number of creators in Japan has risen to 2.26 million. "What matters most for us as a platform is that an economic cycle is being created within that community," he said. He emphasized that the estimated total income of creators has reached ¥119.7 billion ($830 million) The report also estimates that consumer spending through TikTok reached ¥237.5 billion ($1.6 billion) in 2024. This marks a 37% increase from 2023. "TikTok is no longer just a platform for watching and enjoying videos; it's becoming a driver of economic activity," the analysis concluded. The company is aiming for further growth in Japan by increasing the number of content creators, including political parties and local governments. TikTok Japan's Yasunaga pointed out that the platform is unique in encouraging creators to stay in a region for an extended period and produce videos in collaboration with local governments and residents — something other video platforms don't do. He added, "We want to continue supporting partnerships between creators and municipalities. Building trust is key. Many creators typically film in their own rooms, but by going out and meeting fans in person, they not only create real-world connections but also gain a sense of contributing to their communities through their activities." At the event, popular creators and company representatives took part in a panel discussion. They shared their personal experiences while discussing the appeal and potential of TikTok. Comments from the panel included: "It's especially effective for reaching young audiences," "Posting videos has brought in customers from overseas," and "With just a smartphone, it gave me a chance to pursue my dream through music." Singer-songwriter Meg Ensaka, whose "Kiretemasu!" ("I'm Pissed!") series has been viewed over 600 million times across TikTok and other platforms, spoke about the platform's impact on her career. Meg Ensaka served as the moderator of the panel discussion. "Since I started posting, more people have been coming to my live shows. My songs are now reaching middle and high school students, and my fanbase has expanded. At concerts across Japan, audiences have been growing, and merchandise sales have gone up too," she said. She also praised the platform's short video format. "TikTok is perfect for getting people who might not normally be interested to listen to your music," she said. She added, "The algorithm evaluates content based on its own quality, so [unlike other platforms] you don't need to worry about dragging down your average view count. It encourages creators to try bold, creative expressions. Anyone could go viral tomorrow." Author: Ryo Nishiyama, The Sankei Shimbun このページを 日本語 で読む
