Saskatchewan to resume purchase, distribution of all U.S.-produced alcohol
The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) is set to resume the purchase of U.S.-made alcohol, walking back one of the province's tariff countermeasures announced earlier this spring. In an email leaked to the Leader-Post, SLGA staff were informed on Monday afternoon that the Crown would resume the purchase and distribution of U.S.-produced alcohol, removing one of the province's planks in its response to the trade war with the United States. The trade war started when U.S. President Donald Trump announced 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods and 10 per cent on Canadian energy, which came into effect on March 4. On March 5, Premier Scott Moe unveiled Saskatchewan's response, which included direction to the SLGA 'to stop purchasing U.S.-produced alcohol.' The government amended that direction on March 24, providing an exemption for some 54 American brands that were at least partially made in Canada. In an emailed response provided to the Leader-Post on Monday, SLGA spokesperson David Morris said the change will allow the Crown to sell off current inventories of U.S.-produced alcohol that were already paid and resume the purchase of new stock. 'This change gives Saskatchewan people the option to choose whether they want to buy these products or consider alternatives,' stated Morris, adding the SLGA encourages people to buy Saskatchewan and Canadian products. 'The Federal Government's 25 per cent tariff on U.S. alcohol remains in place, and this added cost is expected to be a significant factor.' This move comes a few days after Alberta made the same move, reversing a similar policy that was also in place as a response to U.S. tariffs. On June 6, the U.S. further raised tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum from 25 per cent to 50 per cent. 'Just days ago, Donald Trump doubled tariffs on Saskatchewan steel,' Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck said in an emailed statement criticizing the move to resume the purchase of U.S.-produced alcohol. 'Instead of standing up to Trump and protecting our workers, Scott Moe and the Sask. Party sold them out,' she said. 'This is a betrayal of Canadian workers, especially our steelworkers.' Here's what U.S. brands are staying on Saskatchewan liquor store shelves Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announces provincial response to Trump's tariffs alsalloum@ The Regina Leader-Post has created an Afternoon Headlines newsletter that can be delivered daily to your inbox so you are up to date with the most vital news of the day.

Solis Minerals Seeks Delisting from TSXV
HIGHLIGHTS Solis Minerals has sought a delisting from the TSXV with the ASX to become the primary exchange. TSXV shareholders, on the Canadian share register, may convert their shares into CDIs held in Australia and trade the CDIs on the ASX. TSXV shareholders reflect approximately eight per cent of the Company's securities following Solis Minerals' placement in February 20251. A single, primary listing on the ASX, with a proposed re-domiciliation of the Company to Australia, will reduce corporate costs and governance considerations to better focus resources on exploration. West Leederville, Western Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 9, 2025) - Solis Minerals Limited (ASX: SLM) (TSXV: SLMN) ("Solis Minerals" or the "Company") announces that it has applied to the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") to voluntarily delist the common shares of the Company (the "Delisting"). Solis Minerals believes that the Company's shares and overall liquidity will benefit from a centralised focus on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX"). Additionally, cost and governance efficiencies will be realised through one primary listing. Instructions regarding the process of converting common shares (the "Shares") into "CHESS Depositary Interests" ("CDIs"), enabling them to be traded on the ASX, may be found below. The Delisting is subject to final approval by the TSXV. The Company expects the Delisting to occur on or around June 23, 2025 (the "Delisting Date"). The Company also announces that, in connection with the Delisting, it expects to proceed with a re-domiciliation of the Company to Australia (the "Re-Domiciliation"). The Re-Domiciliation will be subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders and applicable regulatory approvals. Further details regarding the Re-Domiciliation will be made in a subsequent press release. Chief Executive Officer, Mitch Thomas commented: "We believe that streamlining our listing structure is in the best interests of all shareholders, as it will enhance ASX share liquidity and lower administrative costs associated with maintaining a dual-listing structure between Australia and Canada. We welcome existing TSXV shareholders to convert their shares to CDIs. Instructions on how to do so are included on the following page. This change will release more resources to focus on exploration of our highly attractive copper-gold projects in southern Peru. The commencement of drilling last week at Chancho al Palo - with Ilo Este to follow shortly - marks the start of a very exciting period of news flow for shareholders." Instructions for Canadian shareholders to Convert their Shares into CDIs If a shareholder wishes to trade on the ASX, they will need to request to convert, on a 1:1 basis, their unrestricted Shares held on the Canadian share register into CDIs held in Australia. This can be done in one of the following ways: If the Shares are held by the shareholder directly on the Canadian share register in (a) book entry form in the Direct Registration System, or (b) in certificated form, then the shareholder will need to complete and submit a CDI Issuance (Canadian Register to Australian CDI Register) form (the "CDI Issuance Form") to Computershare's Global Transaction Team in Canada ("GT Canada") accompanied by share certificates (if applicable), to the following address:Post: Computershare Investor Services Global Transaction Team100 University Ave, 8th FloorToronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 CanadaEmail: CDI Issuance Form can be downloaded from select 'Printable Forms'; select 'Global Transaction Forms'; and choose 'Register Removal Request - Canada to Australia CDIs' For Shares held through the Canadian Depository for Securities ("CDS") with a broker or other intermediary (a "CDS Participant"), the CDS Participant will need to initiate a CDS Stock Withdrawal for the number of Shares to be converted into CDIs. At the same time, the CDS Participant will complete and submit a CA/AU xSettle instruction (or CDI Issuance Form) to GT Canada, with this matched to the withdrawal of the Shares. xSettle is Computershare's secure online cross-border instruction portal used by market participants. Once a valid request is provided to GT Canada, the CDIs will generally be issued in Australia within 1-2 business days (time zones permitting). No CDI issuance fee will be charged to an individual holder for converting Shares into CDIs, however, a cross-border transaction fee may be charged to the holder by any intermediaries (i.e. brokers or custodians) which are involved. For inquiries on the Share to CDI conversion process, shareholders can contact GT Canada: Phone: +1 877 624 5999 Email: . ENDS This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board.

Posthaste: Why the Canadian dollar is going up when the economy is going down
A funny thing has been happening to the Canadian dollar lately. Despite evidence that the economy is weakening, the currency has been going up, not down, rising 3 per cent against the U.S. dollar since President Donald Trump's Liberation Day. That's not usually how it works, but some strategists think this is more than just a temporary overshoot. Desjardins Group expects the divergence will continue to widen in coming months, with the loonie rising to 74 cents U.S. by the end of this year and to almost 77 cents U.S. by the end of the next. It was trading up at 73.08 this morning. The forecast is based on the U.S. dollar losing strength rather than the Canadian dollar gaining it, said Mirza Shaheryar Baig, a foreign exchange strategist with Desjardins. The loonie's performance against other major currencies has not been stellar. 'Net-net, a strong loonie is the result of a shift in global capital flows leading to a broadly weaker U.S. dollar,' he said. Since Liberation Day the U.S. dollar has become positively correlated with stocks. 'In other words, it has lost its safe haven appeal. This matters because many Canadian institutional investors who did not hedge the currency risk on their U.S. investments are now being forced to raise their hedge ratios,' said Shaheryar Baig. The outlook for the U.S. economy is also weakening. Coming out of the pandemic, it grew faster than other economies, but that has changed. Expectations for U.S. growth have dropped and are now in line with other advanced economies, he said. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development warned last week that Trump's tariff war will sap global growth in 2025 and it gave the United States the biggest downgrade among G7 nations. The OECD sees its growth slowing sharply from 2.8 per cent in 2024 to 1.6 per cent this year, and 1.5 per cent next. Trump's tactics to raise the income share of American workers is also unnerving investors, said Shaheryar Baig. Telling Walmart Inc. 'to eat the tariffs' and threatening Apple Inc. with duties on products made out of the country does not help boost the profits investors are looking for. 'To many investors, American capitalism now resembles Chinese 'common prosperity,'' he said. Desjardins admits its forecast has risks. America dodged a widely expected recession in 2023 and its economy could surprise again. Carry trade in the U.S. dollar, which has the highest deposit yields in the G7, could also revive, he said. The downside of a strong Canadian dollar against the greenback is that it makes exports more expensive, a drag on Canada's already fragile economy. Desjardins believes this will force the Bank of Canada to cut its interest rate another 75 basis points to 2 per cent this year. to get Posthaste delivered straight to your manufacturing sector has been slammed by tariffs, but now new data shows that services, which makes up a much bigger share of the economy, are suffering too. S&P Global's Services PMI for May shows this sector is not only in contraction, but is also the weakest of all 14 countries covered, said National Bank of Canada economists. Earlier last week S&P Global's manufacturing PMI put Canada as the lowest among 30 countries. 'That's dead last in manufacturing and dead last in services, leaving Canada as clear outlier in this sample of key peers,' said National.
