American liquor will only return to Manitoba store shelves if the U.S. drops all tariffs on Canadian goods, Wab Kinew said Friday.

Manitoba has boycotted American booze since February 2025, and the premier said in an interview with CTV Power Play‘s Mike Le Couteur that besides dropping tariffs, the only other thing that could affect negotiations would be the full release of all files the U.S. government holds in relation to the infamous Jeffrey Epstein.

“What we want to see happen, is get all these tariffs lifted and the threat of tariffs to stop,” Kinew said. “Maybe we should say that they need to release the Epstein files and then we’ll remove the booze ban.”


“Donald Trump obviously does not like talking about the Epstein files because he’s mentioned in there so often,” the premier added.

Canadian negotiators should “hit them where it hurts,” Kinew said, suggesting the U.S. president‘s rhetoric about annexing Canada should be countered by highlighting Trump’s close connection with Epstein, a convicted sex trafficker and child sex offender .

No American bourbon in Ontario means I haven't had a drink since they took it off the shelf and haven't been in an LCBO or Beer Store since.

I miss my old fashioned but just means less of my money going to our stupid province.
