Who sells legally on Saskatchewan Avenue?
Blaze N Haze and Olina Cannabis are on the East side, Tokyo Smoke Tweed at 309, and Budville and The Joint on the West side. Fire & Flower is on Sissons Drive. Directories name others, such as Flamingo + at 602 Saskatchewan Avenue West, that our list does not carry, so the LGCA store list is the final check.
Why does the Long Plain case matter to a buyer?
Chief Dennis Meeches called the province's lawsuit a smokescreen and framed it as sovereignty, CBC reported. The province's point is that Manitoba stores must be LGCA-licensed and buy from Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries. Our guide to reserve shops explains what to check.
