    Canadians Resistant to Lifting US Liquor Ban Despite Trade Deal

    A majority of Canadians are unlikely to buy American alcohol even if it returns to store shelves, according to recent polls. This resistance comes despite Prime Minister Mark Carney's request to provincial leaders to lift the ban as part of a trade agreement with the US. The ban was imposed in 2025 as a response to US President Donald Trump's trade war with Canada. Some premiers, like Manitoba's Wab Kinew, have criticized Trump's lack of reliability and urged Canada not to yield in negotiations. Meanwhile, Quebec distillers have benefited from the absence of American products on store shelves.
