Exciting news for Alberta's spirits industry!
Yesterday, I joined Premier Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith and Minister Dale Nally @DaleNally_AB for the unveiling of the official Alberta Whisky logo.
Alberta is home to exceptional distillers whose products are earning recognition across Canada and around the world. This new Alberta Whisky brand is an exciting opportunity to celebrate a growing industry, support local producers and showcase the best of what our province has to offer.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this exciting milestone, including Spirits Canada @SpiritsCanada and Alberta's talented distillers. I look forward to seeing the Alberta Whisky brand continue to raise the profile of our province's producers.
Last night @SpiritsCanada hosted the #CFAAGM26 Welcome Reception! A wonderful event to kick off the CFA's Annual General Meeting and celebrate #cdnag. Thank you to Spirits Canada!

DISCUS, @camaratequilera & @SpiritsCanada are deeply concerned U.S. tariffs on spirits from Canada & Mexico will lead to a cycle of retaliatory tariffs that negatively impacts our shared industry.
