The Canadians are not buying our products. They're not buying the wine from our wineries.

Overstated

Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific assertion that Canadian consumers have stopped purchasing New York wine and agricultural products as a retaliatory trade measure — verifiable against trade data and winery reports.
What we foundThe core claim is substantially accurate — Canadian purchases of U.S. wine collapsed by over 75% due to provincial bans and consumer boycotts — but the absolute framing ('not buying') is an overstatement, as some sales continued in Alberta and Saskatchewan and via in-person tourism.
