The premier of Canada’s Manitoba province mocked Trump by signing ‘a wonderful, beautiful order’ to pull US alcohol from shelves
Although Donald Trump has already caved and suspended tariffs on car manufacturers in Canada and Mexico, other punitive 25% tariffs remain in place, and Canadians aren’t taking it lightly.
A senior Canadian government source has confirmed that PM Trudeau is taking a hard line and told Trump today Canada won't drop retaliation in exchange for a partial rollback of tariffs.
It's all or nothing.

It’s not the only problem Canada has with its southern neighbours at the moment, with Trump pushing the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state of the US, and refusing to give the prime minister Justin Trudeau his correct title – referring to him as Governor Trudeau.

While different Canadian provinces have responded in their own ways, Manitoba’s premier Wab Kinew went down the parody route as he pulled US alcohol from Liquor Marts. It was a thing of beauty.

Oh, well played, @WabKinew – and much agreed, it is a “Beautiful Order” and I’m sure Orangina is going to be thrilled.

We’ll leave the last word to Wab Kinew.
We will persist. Long after Donald Trump leaves office we will still be here.
We will be here as Canada.
We will be here as Manitobans
We will still be the best nation when it comes to hockey. pic.twitter.com/q43rqdJFaC— Wab Kinew (@WabKinew) March 5, 2025
