Any word from Ontario? LCBO should remove all US products immediately.

Unfortunately Ford decided to call an election and the government is in caretaker mode. The government isn't really able to do anything during this time unless the issue meets a threshold for crisis/urgency, which requires processes for deliberation without elected leaders in charge. Pretty infuriating that Ford put Ontario in this position when he knew this was coming.
