  "account": "The Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. (NSLC) reported a 6.8 percent decrease in net income to $62 million in the first quarter, as its liquor profits dipped. The corporation has already sold the majority of its American inventory, with total sales from April 1 to June 28 amounting to $219.4 million, marking a slight 0.2 percent increase compared to the same period last year. While beverage alcohol sales dropped by 1.7 percent, cannabis sales surged by 11.2 percent. Alcohol constituted more than 83 percent of the NSLC's total sales. The corporation sold over $1.8 million worth of American products during the first quarter, according to its latest financial results. The NSLC is committed to selling only existing U.S. product inventory and has ceased importing any additional products from the United States. The provincial government ordered the NSLC to remove all U.S. alcohol from store shelves in the spring as a response to tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The Crown corporation initiated the sale of its U.S. product supply in December 2025, with an estimated value of about $14 million. As of August 17, the NSLC had around $1.5 million worth of U.S. products remaining.",
