  "account": "Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has announced that the province will impose a 50% retaliatory tax on American alcohol. Starting September 8, Saskatchewan residents will face an annual subscription fee of $205.00 plus GST for the first year, with automatic renewal at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks, which is a 10% discount from the regular annual price of $259.35. This reciprocal tax is in response to the U.S. imposing a 50% tariff on Canadian alcohol products.",
