Alberta’s libraries face a major overhaul by January 1st, with new rules banning teens under 15 from accessing sexually explicit materials—books, movies, games, even e-books—without parental consent.

Alberta distillers are shipping their premium spirits to Japan and the U.S. far more easily than to Ontario or B.C., where sky-high fees and markups make domestic sales nearly impossible.
