Kentucky's bourbon makers are not happy with Canada's response to Trump's 25% tariffs.Some provinces have pulled US-made alcohol off their stores' shelves and stopped buying new products.The Kentucky Distillers' Association said Canada's measures will have "far-reaching consequences."Kentucky's bourbon makers are unhappy with Canada, which buys millions of dollars of whiskey a year from the state.In the days since Trump's tariffs went into effect, several Canadian provinces have pulled US-made alcohol from store shelves. And any US alcohol they buy could get more expensive: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday said he would impose retaliatory 25% tariffs on $155 billion worth of American goods.Eric Gregory, the president of the Kentucky Distillers' Association, said in a Tuesday statement on X that retaliatory tariffs would have "far-reaching consequences across Kentucky, home to 95% of the world's bourbon."Canada's retaliatory measures will "jeopardize growth for years," he said.Gregory's statement comes as several Canadian provinces have clamped down on US-made alcohol this week. Provinces like Ontario and New Brunswick instructed state-affiliated alcohol retailers, which regulate the sale and distribution of alcohol in their regions, to pull US products from their shelves.Ontario's government instructed the Liquor Control Board of Ontario to "immediately" cease imports of US alcohol and stop selling American products, the LCBO said on Tuesday.On Wednesday, the government of New Brunswick said on Facebook that it would not purchase any new US alcohol products. The government said it had removed US-made alcohol products from the shelves of Alcool NB, a government-affiliated alcohol retailer.Quebec followed suit. The Socit des alcools du Qubec, a government-run alcohol retailer, said in a Wednesday X post that it was wiping all US products from branches and its website "at the request of the Qubec government."Before the trade war kicked off, Canada was a large importer of Kentucky-made spirits.The Canada-Kentucky agricultural trade totaled $691 million in 2023, with Kentucky exporting $43 million worth of whiskey to Canada that year, the Canadian government said on its official site.AndPaul Coomes, a professor of economics at the University of Louisville, wrote in a 2023 report that Canada was the biggest importer of Kentucky-made spirits in 2022.It's not just Kentucky bourbon makers who lamented Canada's retaliatory measures.Lawson Whiting, the CEO of Brown-Forman, the parent company of Jack Daniel's, said on a Wednesday earnings call that the retaliation was "worse than a tariff" and a "disproportionate response" to Trump's tariffs.In June, the company said in its annual report that Canada accounted for 1% of total sales, while 45% came from the US.Trump said in early February that he would impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Those tariffs were delayed by a month after both countries promised to tighten their border security but went into effect on Tuesday.Representatives for the Kentucky Distillers' Association did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, sent outside regular business hours.

    Parkline Place Commercial Tower / Foster + Partners
    Parkline Place Commercial Tower / Foster + PartnersSave this picture!Sydney, AustraliaArchitects: COX Architecture, Foster + PartnersYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Courtesy of Foster + PartnersText description provided by the architects. Oxford Properties Group ('Oxford'), Mitsubishi Estate Asia ('MEA'), and Investa's Parkline Place development, a 39-storey commercial tower above the new Gadigal Station in Sydney, have been completed. Foster + Partners worked as part of the team that established an integrated approach to the design of the station and the over-station development, considering them as a single entity. The practice has worked closely with COX Architecture, Aurecon (structural engineering), and CPB Contractors to develop and realize the project.Save this picture!Save this picture!Gerard Evenden, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners, said: "Parkline Place is one of the best-connected office towers in Sydney, with a brand-new station directly below and enhanced pedestrian infrastructure around the base of the tower. Located between the Central Business District and Midtown Precinct in the heart of the city this vibrant new destination provides highly flexible offices alongside an array of social spaces, shops, cafes, and restaurants."Save this picture!Muir Livingstone, Partner, Foster + Partners, added: "We are delighted to see Parkline Place opening its doors. It is the new home of our Sydney office, and we are looking forward to working in such a dynamic location."Save this picture!Mark Tait, Head of Developments, Investa said: "We're very proud of Parkline Place. It is a testament to Investa's track record of delivering complex, high-profile over-station developments. Parkline Place is our second major, premium-grade office development with Foster + Partners in Sydney. The quality of anchor tenants moving into Parkline Place demonstrates the market appetite for well-designed, sustainable buildings that are well connected to transport and offer premium amenity."Save this picture!The station entry box acts as the foundation to the over station development above. The new tower is articulated as three distinctive vertical forms with curved corner glazing. A recess in the facade continues through the full height of the tower and is centered on the station's Park Street entrance, creating a direct connection between these two interconnected parts of the scheme.Save this picture!Gadigal Station's Park Street entrance is celebrated with a glass veil, which animates the street and allows daylight to flood the station concourse throughout the day. Meanwhile, Parkline Place's separate entrance lobby on Pitt Street has a strong vertical emphasis and a triple height volume that leads to the commercial lobby space.Save this picture!The tower's massing has been carefully crafted to accentuate the building's functions. The large flexible floorplate has two banks of lifts in a central core, allowing for continuous uninterrupted views of the surrounding parks and Sydney Harbour. The office spaces have been designed to allow interconnecting stairs, social hubs, breakout spaces, client meeting rooms and interaction spaces enriching the workspace.Save this picture!The primary elevation of the tower faces south, with very little solar exposure, and has minimal vertical sunshades to deal with low-angle early morning and evening sun. On the east and west elevations, the glazed area is substantially reduced using a raised sill to minimize heat gain Solar exposure is furtherSave this picture!reduced by projecting shades that help manage the high sun and maximize views to the parks and beyond. The building is rated WELL Platinum and Greenstar 6-Star (Design and As Built v1.3).Save this picture!A podium around the base of the development follows the building heights of the two heritage listed buildings adjacent to the site on Pitt Street and Castlereagh Street. Furthermore, the use of a sandstone and bronze links the development to other surrounding heritage buildings in the area.Save this picture!Save this picture!The station structure effectively acted as the foundation for the development, simplifying construction and making it easier and more economical to build. The return on investment from the over-station development also subsidized costs for the project, creating an economically sustainable model for this public transport infrastructure project. The design team was able to align the structure and optimize building services, prioritizing passenger circulation and creating separate entrances for both the station and the commercial development above.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Location to be used only as a reference.

This project is a unique structure that combines a residential space with a shop and features a distinguished shrine within the building. The shrine is situated in a spacious room where the client's great-grandmother once performed sacred rituals. It is still carefully maintained by dedicated followers. The shrine enshrines a deity widely revered at a well-known shrine in the Kansai region, and the building itself holds a deep connection with the local community.Save this picture!For us, this was a rare and meaningful opportunity to work on a project involving a sacred space, following a previous commission to design a residence for a former head representative of Ise Jingu.
