Washington dated a ban on certain Canadian alcoholic imports for Sept. 29 as Canada's tariffs took effect. [1] Reuters filed the stall and the measures together. [1] Wednesday is September 9. The 9th is not the 29th. A dated future ban is not in force today. Print the 29th. Do not print today.

Tariffs in force on the adjoining page are a different clock. Leave a named date-change to the edition that owns a named date-change. The calendar has not jumped.

Print the 29th. Wednesday is not the ban date.

The 29th remains the dated ban, not September 9, on this Wednesday economy desk.
The calendar has not jumped.
Wednesday is not the ban date.
Canadian tariffs in force sit next door, not this 29th.
The calendar does the work here: September 9 is not September 29, whatever the rumor. Tariffs live today; the ban waits. Wednesday keeps both clocks apart.

Apart clocks tick apart; Wednesday keeps them so. Tariffs now, bans later. The calendar rules.

Ruled calendars stay ruled; Wednesday is the 9th, not the 29th. Tariffs live next door. The ban has not jumped.

September 29 is the date Washington put on the Canadian drinks ban, twenty days out. Bottles still move on the 9th. Tariffs already in force sit next door. A future date is not today's statute.
Bottles still move on the 9th. The drinks ban is dated the 29th. Live tariffs sit next door and do not jump that date.

The drinks ban is dated the 29th. A future date is not today's statute. Bottles still move on the 9th.
