Fourth liquor store to bring Humboldt's quota up to SLGA limit
HUMBOLDT — Humboldt City Council has approved a discretionary use permit for a liquor store at Humboldt Commons on Eighth Avenue. Jace Porter, city controller, said public notice was provided for two full weeks leading up to the council meeting. Additionally, property owners within 75 metres of the proposed site were directly notified. The city received several letters and emails expressing concern about the proposed liquor store, with many opposing the idea due to not wanting another liquor store in Humboldt. The recommendation sparked discussion among councillors about the layout and safety of the area, particularly in relation to increased traffic. Mayor Rob Muench clarified that this development does not add a new liquor store to the community. 'The city has always had four permits, and currently there are three liquor stores. This was previously the SLGA permit. We want businesses to know we welcome your business,' he said. City Manager Joe Day added that a development permit process is still required, which takes into account factors such as turning radius, setbacks, and landscaping features. 'That is all part of the development permit,' he said. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.

Sask. quietly ends its response to U.S. tariffs
Social Sharing In March, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced his government's response to U.S. tariffs. Three months later, those measures are ending. The removal of the countermeasures was not announced to the public. It was only confirmed once media asked the provincial government. Premier Scott Moe announced in March that the province was prioritizing Canadian suppliers for goods and services procured by the Government of Saskatchewan and temporarily halting capital projects with the goal of minimizing or eliminating American materials. In a statement to CBC News on Wednesday, the province confirmed it will return to its standard procurement process. The statement comes a just day after the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) confirmed it would resume the purchase and distribution of American-made alcohol. In March, Moe directed the SLGA to stop purchasing US-produced alcohol. It later modified that policy for 54 brands that, while American-owned, are produced in Canada. "This change was made to allow Saskatchewan people the option to choose whether they want to buy these products or consider alternatives," the statement said. The federal government's 25-per-cent tariff on U.S. alcohol remains in effect. The provincial government said it will continue to encourage support for Saskatchewan and Canadian products "whenever there is an option to do so." It's not clear if Saskatchewan's response to U.S. tariffs had any real effect on provincial procurement. Data provided by the government showed a that over the past five years, the province had awarded nearly 90 per cent of all procurements to Saskatchewan companies and more than 99 per cent of procurements went to Canadian companies. That did not stop the provincial Opposition from spending a large portion of the spring sitting criticizing contracts the government had with American companies or American suppliers. None of the contracts flagged by the Saskatchewan NDP were cancelled.

Sask. to put American-made booze back on the shelves
The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) is resuming the purchase and distribution of American-made alcohol. All American alcohol products will now be available for purchase through all distribution centres and private liquor distributors in the province, said David Morris, a spokesperson for the corporation, in a statement to CBC on Tuesday. "This change gives Saskatchewan people the option to choose whether they want to buy these products or consider alternatives," Morris said. The federal government's 25-per-cent tariff on U.S. alcohol remains in effect. Morris said Saskatchewan consumers are still encouraged to support Saskatchewan and Canadian products when there is an option. The change comes nearly three months after the province reversed its decision to stop selling some American-branded alcohol products made in Canada. In March, the province announced a ban on all American alcohol products. It then walked back that ban for 54 brands that, while American-owned, are produced in Canada.

It said in a statement the move aligned with other provinces and that it would focus its ban on alcohol produced in America.

Huh) The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) has confirmed it will resume the purchase and distribution of all U.S. produced alcohol. The provincial Crown says the move will allow it to sell the approximately $3.6 million worth of U.S. products in its distribution centre and resume orders to bring in new stock. 'This change gives Saskatchewan people the option to choose whether they want to buy these products or consider alternatives,' the SLGA said in a statement on Tuesday. 'We encourage supporting Saskatchewan and Canadian products whenever there is an option to do so.' The Crown noted that the federal 25 per cent tariff on U.S. alcohol remains in place. The decision comes after the province announced on March 5 that it would stop purchasing 54 American-branded products as a way to hit back against U.S. tariffs on Canadian energy and goods. Following intense criticism from organizations such as Beer Canada, the province reversed its decision on March 24.
