After months of absence from store shelves, American liquor is making a comeback in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Both provinces have announced they will resume purchasing and distributing U.S. alcohol products, marking a significant shift in their response to the previously imposed U.S. tariffs.

The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) confirmed the decision, stating that it will allow for both the sale of existing stock and the procurement of new American liquor for retailers across the province. This means consumers will once again have the option of choosing between domestic and imported spirits.

David Morris, a spokesperson for the SLGA, explained that the move directly addresses the removal of many American alcohol products from shelves following the announcement of tariffs under the Trump administration. The reintroduction of these products offers consumers increased variety and choice.

Alberta has mirrored this decision, independently announcing that its retailers will also be permitted to restock American liquors. This coordinated effort by both provinces suggests a resolution to the trade complexities stemming from the previous tariffs and a renewed focus on providing consumers with a wider selection of alcoholic beverages.
