- Federal Minister Dominic LeBlanc and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer are close to finalizing a trade agreement, with U.S. tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian imports postponed until 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney is pressing premiers to restore U.S. alcohol sales to help secure the deal and avert threatened 50% U.S. tariffs, as eight of Canada's 10 provinces currently restrict or ban these products.
- Despite his criticism of President Donald Trump as a "bad person," Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew signaled Manitoba may restore alcohol sales as part of a "Team Canada" approach to support Carney's negotiations.
- Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Tony Wakeham reported that all provinces agreed during Wednesday's call to return U.S. alcohol to store shelves to facilitate the deal, after Kinew noted Carney "strongly pressed" premiers.
