Premier says it's up to Quebec — and Quebec alone — when U.S. booze returns to its shelves

Quebec's premier is standing firm on keeping U.S. alcohol out of the province's government-run liquor stores, even as Canada seems poised to lift its ban on American booze to meet some U.S. demands. This stance highlights Quebec's unique position within Canada, emphasizing its distinct policies and cultural priorities. It's a clear signal that Quebec will maintain its own course, separate from federal decisions, underscoring the province's autonomy and control over its retail policies.
