Cautious optimism in B.C. as provinces agree to slash barriers to booze trade
positiveTop Stories
British Columbia and other provinces are making it easier to buy booze across provincial lines, thanks to a new agreement announced Tuesday. While it’s not a total free-for-all yet, the deal signals progress in tearing down Canada’s notoriously patchwork alcohol rules—giving both consumers and producers reason to raise a glass (cautiously).
Editor’s Note: If you’ve ever tried to order wine from another province and hit a bureaucratic wall, this matters. Canada’s alcohol trade has long been tangled in provincial red tape, making it harder for small breweries, wineries, and distilleries to reach customers—and for drinkers to access their favorites. This deal won’t fix everything overnight, but it’s a step toward treating the country like one market, not 13 fiefdoms. Cheers to that.
