Carney urges premiers to lift U.S. alcohol bans; Quebec and Manitoba resist

Prime Minister Mark Carney asked premiers to drop retaliatory bans on U.S. alcohol sales as a trade deal nears. Quebec's Fréchette would comply only if the deal benefits Quebec. Manitoba's Kinew called the request "a step before begging." Newfoundland's Wakeham said all premiers agreed to stand down — but the holdouts suggest otherwise.
