Ontario to allow alcohol on ‘pedal pubs' this summer
Toronto Pedal Pub posted a photo of one of their pedicabs in the city on social media. ( The Ontario government confirms it will allow alcohol on board so-called 'pedal pubs' this summer. Popular on downtown city streets, the large quadricycles can carry 12 or more people at one time and transport groups along a set route, often stopping at pubs and other destinations on the way. Previously, alcohol was not permitted on board the bike due to provincial liquor laws. However, the province says that will change some time this summer. Alcohol sales in Ontario have expanded in recent years, with Premier Doug Ford making good on a 2018 campaign promise last year to bring beer and wine to convenience stores across the province. It's unclear when exactly 'pedal pubs' in the city will be given the green light to offer alcohol on board.

Alberta finance Minister to deliver year-end fiscal update, $5.8B surplus forecasted
CALGARY — Alberta's finance minister is set to deliver the final bottom line number today on last year's provincial budget. Nate Horner's new figure will close the books on the budget for the fiscal year that ended in March. That budget was last forecast to come in with a nearly $6-billion surplus. Alberta's new budget year is now a few months old, but its expected bottom line number is deep in the red. This budget, introduced by Horner in February, predicts Alberta will register a $5.2-billion deficit at the end of March 2026. It also predicts deficits will continue for years after that due to declining oil prices, tax cuts and global events like the trade tariffs imposed by the United States.
