Saskatchewan blinks first, lifts ban on Alberta licence plates

It looks like the Saskatchewan government has blinked in its licence-plate trade war with Alberta.

On Monday, Alberta Economic Development Minister Deron Bilous confirmed the Saskatchewan government dropped its ban on Alberta licence plates on construction sites.

Bilous said Premier Brad Wall's government knew they were "off-side on this, that they were going to lose when it came to the tribunal, and so they've done the right thing, in the 11th hour, today being the deadline, to rescind the restriction."

Instituted on Dec. 6, the ban prompted the Alberta government to file a complaint under the New West Partnership, a trade agreement among the four western provinces.

The OP said "Saskatchewan caves"

I think the Alberta license plates should handle their ban like avro has handled his

so they can prolong the embareA$$ment[sic] forever.

Saskatistan is just like Pete. Likes to talk the talk but has quite some difficulty walking the walk. He fits in well there.

It looks like the Saskatchewan government has blinked in its licence-plate trade war with Alberta.

On Monday, Alberta Economic Development Minister Deron Bilous confirmed the Saskatchewan government dropped its ban on Alberta licence plates on construction sites.

That's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is that as a result of Saskatchewan's action, Alberta is finally agreeing to comply with inter-provincial trade rules defined under the New West Partnership Agreement it was found to have violated regarding beer and alcohol sales.


Last July, the three-person AIT panel found the Alberta government violated inter-provincial trade rules with graduated beer mark-ups and a rebate program designed to help the province's small brewers.

Bonk told reporters in Regina that the resolution was "absolutely" a victory for Saskatchewan as it forced Alberta to acknowledge it would follow the ruling from the AIT.

Saskatistan ...Likes to talk the talk but has quite some difficulty walking the walk.

Unlike Notley who arrogantly talks without thinking, walks without looking and ends up stepping in sh*t.

Funny thing is, Wall could move to AB, run and take Notley out in a landslide.

Hell, a plugged toilet could take out Notley in an election

Notley isn't your typical Albertan. That is why, like Trump, her election was a fluke and there is virtually no chance of re-election.

And like Trump, she's a leftist.

Though unlike Trump she's not a leftard.
