Nine Provinces Just Made It Legal to Order Wine Straight From Other Provinces — Here's What It Means for Your Wallet

  July 24, 2026 If you've ever fallen in love with a bottle of wine on an Okanagan vacation and then discovered you couldn't legally have it shipped home to Ontario, that particular headache just got a lot smaller. On Tuesday, premiers from nine provinces signed a formal agreement to open up direct-to-consumer (DTC) alcohol sales across provincial lines.

The timing isn't a coincidence. The deal landed roughly 24 hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on Canadian wine, beer, and spirits headed south of the border, set to take effect in August.

TSX Futures Slide Amid Global Market Turmoil

 

Futures linked to Canada’s main stock index took a tumble on Tuesday, echoing the brutal sell-off seen across global markets on Monday. The trigger? Recession fears in the United States.

September futures on the S&P/TSX index were down 1.8% at 6:48 a.m. ET (10:48 GMT). Investors worldwide scrambled toward safe-haven assets after weaker U.S. economic data last week raised concerns about a recession in the world’s largest economy.

While investor sentiment was partially soothed by a rebound in U.S. services sector activity and signals of rate cuts from Federal Reserve policymakers, the benchmark U.S. S&P 500 and Nasdaq both closed 3% lower on Monday.

Canadian markets were closed for a holiday, but attention remains on domestic employment figures due later this week and a host of Fed policymakers scheduled to speak throughout the month.

In corporate news, Suncor Energy and iA Financial are set to report their quarterly figures after the closing bell today.

Commodities at 6:48 a.m. ET:

  • Gold futures: $2,423 (+0.5%)
  • U.S. crude: $73.32 (+0.5%)
  • Brent crude: $76.62 (+0.4%)

Stay tuned for further updates as the market volatility continues.
