BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon is calling on the NDP to follow provinces like Ontario and Manitoba and immediately remove all Russian products from BC Liquor Stores and cease all imports of such products by the BCLDB.
BC Liquor stores carry 5 brands of Russian produced products including:
Russian Standard Vodka
Beluga Noble Russian Vodka
Russian Standard Platinum Vodka
Baikal Vodka
Baltika 7 Beer
“We should do all we can to support the people of Ukraine and not benefit Putin’s regime while this unprovoked aggression continues.” said BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon. “This is a concrete step we can take right now to show our solidarity with the Ukrainian people.”
“I called on Premier Horgan and the NDP to take this action this morning, since then other provincial governments in Ontario and Manitoba have removed Russian products from their liquor stores, this is action we can take right now, I don’t know what the government is waiting for.” added Falcon.
