Ontario And British Columbia Won't Lift Their US Alcohol Bans

Doug Ford vows he'll 'never back down'; David Eby calls compliance 'not a chance in hell,' as tariffs hit $28 billion.

  • Ontario's Doug Ford: 'We will never back down' on the alcohol ban.
  • BC's David Eby says US alcohol has 'not a chance in hell' returning.
  • Alberta and Saskatchewan are the only provinces that never banned US alcohol.
