A half-empty shelf of American whiskey is pictured at the 100 Queen’s Quay East LCBO in Toronto on March 4, 2025. Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the LCBO will not be putting U.S. liquor back on shelves until Canada and the U.S. reach a trade deal.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent decision to lift countertariffs on U.S. goods has renewed questions about whether more Canadian provinces will allow liquor retailers to put U.S. alcohol back on their shelves.

American industry associations have been calling for an end to the booze bans, arguing that they harm Canadian consumers and businesses.
