Canada-U.S. Trade Talks Collapse: Ottawa Distillery Looks East and West

An Ottawa-area distillery is redirecting its expansion plans after Canada-U.S. trade negotiations collapsed and new 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods took effect on Saturday.

Stratford-Fox Distillery had been preparing to enter the much larger U.S. market, but now general manager and master distiller Adam Brierley says that plan is being reconsidered.

Brierley notes that a bigger population and a stronger U.S. dollar were part of their original plan, but he's now looking to Europe instead.
