Del Duca Wants the LCBO to Pull Russian Products From the Shelves

Friday, 25 February 2022 11:59

The Liberal Leader says pulling Russian alcohol from LCBO shelves would send a clear message that the illegal invasion of Ukraine will not be tolerated.

Ontario Liberal leader Steven Del Duca is calling on the Province to pull all Russian alcohol from LCBO shelves. 

Del Duca has written a letter to the LCBO President and CEO Dr. George Soleas asking for swift action. 

He says this is one way we can send a clear message to Russian leader Vladmir Putin that his aggression and illegal invasion of Ukraine will not be tolerated. 

"Our allies in Ukraine are under attack by Russia and need our help. Pulling Russian vodka from the shelves of the LCBO is an immediate action Ontario can take to demonstrate our solidarity with the people of Ukraine."

Del Duca says the LCBO is among the largest alcohol purchasers in the world and pulling Russian beverages would make a dent. Del Duca says banning the sale of these products will prevent any further money from going to Russia during their illegal invasion. 

"I appreciate the financial support Ontario has already offered to Ukraine in their fight against Russia, and I hope the LCBO will consider this measure as another way to restrict Russia’s trade. We need to do everything we can to support our allies against the murderous dictator that has invaded Ukraine."
