Are we sure that Via nationwide doesn't allow alcohol, and it's not just that one route in Manitoba? Places like rural Manitoba have unique issues with alcohol and their own, even more draconian rules.
I've taken beer on Via. I really thought it was allowed. Don't they serve alcohol?
Edit: I should have just looked it up. Here is the policy. Alcohol is sold, of course, but "personal alcoholic drinks" can only be consumed in sleeping cars. I don't think this is enforced very stringently...as per Coke6pk's photo, I don't think riders even need to try to be sneaky about it.
