Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew has stated that American liquor will only return to Manitoba store shelves if the U.S. drops all tariffs on Canadian goods. The headline adds a second condition—releasing the Epstein files—but the CTV News article does not explicitly support this as a stated precondition for restoring alcohol sales. Kinew has publicly criticized Trump's focus on the Iran war as a distraction from the Epstein files, but this appears to be separate commentary rather than a formal condition tied to the liquor policy. The tariff-for-liquor exchange is accurately reported and well-sourced; the Epstein files angle conflates Kinew's broader criticism with a specific policy demand not clearly articulated in available reporting.
