If US Booze Returns to Canadian Shelves, “Leave It There,” Manitoba Premier Says

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says Americans should “leave it there” if US alcoholic drinks return to Canadian shelves. His remarks come amid continuing trade tensions and consumer boycotts affecting products from both countries. Canadian provinces have previously restricted or removed American alcohol in response to disputes over tariffs and cross-border relations. The comments reflect growing political pressure to support domestic producers and maintain economic leverage. Any decision to restore US products would depend on provincial policies, retailers and developments.
