Provinces Have Agreed to Restock US Alcohol, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Says

Speaking to reporters on Aug. 20, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Tony Wakeham said Carney is “confident” that Washington and Ottawa will reach a trade agreement. “As part of this agreement, he asked all of the provinces—as a sign of good faith—to put U.S. liquor back on the shelves, and we all agreed,” he said.
