Together We're Bitter

[Drake]

It's pretty simple. The beer store is not run by the government, but by a private company -- even if it is a partnership; it's private. There is no reason to continue with the beer store. Based on this information, is it not a logical consideration that any private company can sell beer based on the same legislative requirements the beer store meets?

I suggest there should be no appetite for local brewers to 'partner' with the beer store. I suggest the beer store now compete against 7-11, Forewells, Zehr's etc... there is no reason whatsoever that a brewer be the only one who can sell beer.

And on that topic, let me slide into a rant. The other night I went to the LCBO at 5:02PM. Because it was Sunday, the 'guard' at the door wouldn't let me in. Really? 5PM is the last chance we have to buy liquor? I find that absurd, unmodern and not the recent result of any kind of democratic thought.
