Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew criticized U.S. President Donald Trump as a bad person who cannot be trusted, arguing that Canada should keep fighting rather than rush to make concessions in negotiations with Washington. His comments came as Canada weighs restoring U.S. alcohol sales and easing other provincial restrictions as part of a possible deal intended to avert threatened 50% U.S. tariffs. Dominic LeBlanc, the federal minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade, said the countries were close to an agreement after meeting again with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Washington. Tariffs on about $20 billion worth of Canadian imports have been postponed until 12:01 a.m. Saturday, but neither side has published the full terms. Kinew said Manitoba may support Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Team Canada approach while urging consumers to favor Canadian products. Eight of Canada’s 10 provinces restrict or ban U.S. alcohol, and provincial governments control liquor sales and some procurement rules involved in the talks. Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette said Quebec could restore U.S. alcohol at the SAQ but would make its own decision.
