Kinew urged Canadians to boycott American goods and predicted Trump would get slaughtered in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney asked provincial leaders to lift bans on U.S. alcohol sales to help finalize a bilateral trade agreement and avoid 50% U.S. tariffs. Canadian Minister Dominic LeBlanc announced that Canada and the U.S. are nearing a final trade deal, with tariffs on roughly $20 billion in Canadian imports delayed until Saturday. Although several Canadian provinces are considering restoring U.S. liquor to store shelves at Carney's request, Kinew advised consumers to continue purchasing Canadian products instead.
