Nova Scotia producers can now sell their wine, beer and spirits directly to customers in Ontario. That means fewer trade barriers, and faster access to Canada's largest market. 🇨🇦
We'll keep working with other provinces and territories to reach agreements so that our companies have more opportunities and Nova Scotia customers have more choice.
@cbccolleenjones Her sporting prowess speaks for
Itself however she was a kind person with a wonderful personality.
One time my wife and I met up in Italy and at one of our favourite restaurants along with her husband Scott, called La Rampa.
We went last night & thought of her RIP🙏 Tim & Adri

🇨🇦 Friday Night Flights by @coolchardonnay is in the books. Held in an airport hangar, complete with nibbles and a dj.
🥂 I did not taste a single bad wine over the evening. Some standouts included @lailey_winery and @blomidonestate - from Nova Scotia!
#Canada is home to world-class winemakers! Supporting local has never tasted better with Vineyards across the country such as in #Ontario's Niagara region or the Annapolis Valley of #NovaScotia! What are some of your favorite Canadian ‘Red and White’ bottles? 🍇🇨🇦
With U.S products being removed from shelves at the LCBO, it’s more important than ever to buy wines made from locally grown grapes. Look for VQA on the label to ensure your wines are made from 100% Ontario grapes. These local wines support our economy & create jobs here at home
The VQA symbol ensures that wines are made from 100% locally grown grapes. There are many amazing Ontario-made wines to choose from and supporting locally grown wines means supporting our country, local economy and local jobs.
It’s remarkable to find ourselves at odds with our best friend and neighbour.
It will take thoughtfulness and time but we will get through this. There are things within our control that we must act on. We must ramp up our focus on finding new markets here at home with programs like Nova Scotia Loyal, focus on developing our own resources, eliminate inter-provincial trade barriers and, finally, of course, by looking for international diversification.
We will do these things and no matter what, I will do everything I can to protect the interests of hard-working Nova Scotians and their families.
Nova Scotians are my concern.
We are anxious to understand the federal government’s plans for programs to support Nova Scotians, and we will also do what we can but it is too early to determine exactly what is necessary.
In response to U.S. tariffs, the following are the steps we will take.
First, Nova Scotia will limit access to provincial procurement for American businesses. We will look for opportunities to cancel existing contracts and will maintain the option to reject bids outright because of President Trump’s unlawful tariffs.
Second, the cost of tolls at the Cobequid Pass will double for commercial vehicles from the United States, effective February 3, 2025.
Finally, we will direct the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation to remove all alcohol from the United States from their shelves effective February 4, 2025.
