I'm still on the fence wrt beer (I have no problem at all with the LCBO). While I would like to see some opening of beer sales beyond the Beer Store, I wonder whether the Province couldn't suck more much-needed revenue out of the operation by imposing a royalty on sales. I suspect the Province could pull in 10% of sales, without affecting the price of beer, if the measure were combined with measures to increase competition. The reported "sweet deal" between the Beer Store and the LCBO restricting the latter to the sale of six-packs needs to go, the sooner the better.
