British Columbia Premier David Eby and Prime Minister Mark Carney stand firm on the U.S. liquor ban, using it as leverage in CUSMA negotiations amid rising trade tensions. Despite backlash, they dismiss rumors of a new southern pipeline route. Carney highlights U.S. tariffs as violations, while BCs lumber sector faces challenges. Reactions are mixed, with some welcoming focus on softwood lumber issues and others pushing for wholesale access. BC refuses to restock U.S. booze until trade barriers lift, keeping the pressure on in ongoing talks.
