Alberta buying U.S. alcohol again, months after pause meant to fight tariffs
Global NewsSaturday, June 7, 2025 at 7:22:58 PM
Alberta is resuming alcohol purchases from the U.S. after hitting pause back in April—a move originally meant to push back against American tariffs on Canadian products. It looks like the province is shifting gears, though the exact reasons aren’t spelled out here.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about restocking liquor shelves—it’s a small but telling sign of how trade tensions between Canada and the U.S. play out in real time. Alberta’s earlier pause was a bargaining chip; reopening the taps suggests either a thaw, a compromise, or just a pragmatic call that the standoff wasn’t worth the hassle. Either way, it’s a reminder that even niche policies can ripple through bigger economic relationships. Cheers to that? Maybe—but keep an eye on what comes next.
