ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – If you’re in Saskatchewan, you’ll be able to order British Columbia wines online. In B.C., Saskatchewan’s dill pickle vodka will be for sale.

Premier Christy Clark says the two provinces are making it easier to order B.C. wine online and to buy specialty Saskatchewan spirits.

She suggests her fellow B.C. residents try dill pickle vodka with clamato juice.

Clark says Canada is a big country and premiers should allow more unfettered inter-provincial trade.

B.C. dropped trade barriers to wine from anywhere in the country a few years ago but Clark says its liquor board did not take a hit.

She says people want to be able to enjoy wine and spirits from outside the provinces where they live in.
