The Edmonton Police Commission recently produced some political pyrotechnics. John McDougall wanted to continue to chair the commission until the end of December 2024, and remain a member until the end of his term in 2026. None of that would be an issue except that he also planned to relocate to Portugal and engage remotely with the oversight process of a half-a-billion-dollar organization in Edmonton.

The federal government’s recent decision to extend GST relief to beer, wine, and refreshment beverages — but not spirits — is another example of how Canada’s antiquated tax policy disadvantages our spirits industry. The recently tabled GST tax relief bill overlooks distillers' significant role in producing world-class spirits and perpetuates outdated biases against the spirits industry. Read More
