As the Russian invasion of Ukraine entered a third day Saturday, calls on social media grew louder for a boycott of Russia and its goods as an act of solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
In Canada, liquor stores in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador announced Friday that they would stop selling Russian spirits.
The Newfoundland Labrador Liquor Corporation (NLC), which is responsible for importing, selling and distributing alcohol within the province, announced on Twitter that it would remove products of Russian origin from its shelves, adding: These include Russian Standard Vodka and Russian Standard Platinum Vodka.
The NLC operates 25 Liquor Stores and supplies 144 Liquor Express outlets throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, according to its official website.
