The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, Aug. 22, edition that as the clock ticked on a trade deal to avoid new tariffs from President Donald Trump, tensions grew between Canada's premiers and Prime Minister Mark Carney. The Globe's Jeff Gray writes that by Friday afternoon, Ontario Premier Doug Ford had not commented on Mr. Carney's request to lift the province's ban on selling United States alcohol in its liquor stores. Premiers often refer to themselves as a unified "Team Canada," and recently, Mr. Ford and others have mostly refrained from criticizing Mr. Carney and his negotiators in Washington. On Wednesday, Mr. Carney urged premiers to lift their bans on U.S. alcohol sales at provincial liquor outlets, despite ongoing talks about tariff reductions on steel, aluminum, autos and lumber. The reception for the idea from certain premiers ranged from chilled to muted. British Columbia's compliance remains uncertain. Alberta and Saskatchewan have already lifted bans on U.S. booze sales. Manitoba's Wab Kinew suggested he might consider the PM's request. But he encouraged consumers not to buy U.S.-made alcohol if it did return to shelves. He said he believed Canada should instead "keep fighting."
