Why Ontario’s Liquor Shelves Are Empty
Why are popular American whiskeys disappearing from Ontario shelves — and what does it reveal about Canada’s broken alcohol system? From bourbon shortages to trade wars, this conversation exposes how politics, regulation, and changing drinking habits are reshaping what Canadians can buy.
Host Mike sits down with André Proulx, Toronto Life contributor, wine journalist, podcast host of Two Guys Talking Wine, and co-founder of the ADX Wine Company, to unpack Canada’s liquor laws, the LCBO’s inefficiencies, and why premium alcohol is winning while mass-market brands collapse.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why U.S. alcohol is disappearing from Ontario shelves
• How interprovincial trade barriers hurt Canadian producers
• The LCBO vs private liquor models across Canada
• Why people are drinking less — but better
• How tariffs and politics are reshaping wine & spirits pricing
