Beer in "Convenience" stores

Convenient for whom thought?

Here in Toronto, if you want to buy beer, you have to go to a "Beer Store". In Quebec, you can buy beer at any corner store (the dep), but not here.

The LCBO has a monopoly on sales, so when a Liberal backbencher from Niagara Falls proposes to "sell the province's wine and beer in corner stores", the monopoly goes into full gear.

David Caplan, minister responsible for the LCBO, said he is not that interested in having the conversation...he said, without elaborating.

New Democrat Peter Kormos called the idea "horse crap,"

Ah, intellectual debate.

Maybe they should ask the people, who we all know love government monopolies. Haaaahaha, I crack myself up.
