Friday's letters: Tax policies biased against spirits

Summary

Nutrition label

68% Informative

Canada is a leader in spirits production, from internationally recognized Canadian whiskey to innovative craft distilleries.

Excluding spirits from this kind of tax relief unfairly benefits Canada ’s wine and beer industries.

This approach is rooted in a historical stigma against spirits dating back to Prohibition when spirits were taxed and regulated more heavily than beer or wine.
