Yes poor Walmart and loblaws how dare they not be allowed to sell beer. Also I don’t get why people hated the beer store lol ya it was a monopoly but it was government ran like the lcbo and it had the best prices. It also had a good union unlike most big box stores or gas stations so like it’s actually a downgrade for the common person losing the beer store.
Doug just wanted to get his friends business richer cause he gets kickback
Monopolies keep prices high because of lack of competition. And their hours sucked. And the customer experience was shit you can't see any beer in the store you have to try and search what they have in the back on a broken shitty touchscreen. Good riddance.
Walmart and Loblaws aren't the only ones there are so many places to buy beer now it's wonderful!
Not all markets require competition. Not all markets deserve deregulation. Alcoholism increases the cost of healthcare services, so cheaper more easily accessible alcohol is not in anyone's best interest.
Why not restrict the sale of junk food? Of sugar? Of cigarettes? We have McDonalds and Tim Hortons on every corner, and I can buy cigs at any gas station at any time of day. You're concern is very selective for some reason.
Ultimately this is an ideological thing. I believe in personal freedom, you may not.
Yeah lol you probably didn’t go into many beer stores there was many that you could walk into and select yourself. Also the hours are shit now because Doug is closing all the stores, like 10 years ago it was a was job to get into. The prices for beer were only higher than Quebec for example is because of the sales tax it’s not the beer store raising prices in fact the beer store still has the cheapest prices it’s about 30 cents cheaper per can than any grocery store. I’m definitely biased btw my father worked there for 40 years lol so I’m definitely not the best faith argument.
While that concept is true in most cases, it's not the reason for beer, and not in Ontario. The AGCO sets prices. They set prices, but the Beer Store and LCBO loved it because it meant they made more money. And then people ignore the monopoly, because LCBO contributes to schools and such.
I'd just like to see actual competition and lower prices. Some retailers (ie 7-Eleven, have had significant discounts on beer).
Since when has privatization ever helped reduce the cost of anything. Look at most public transportation systems handed over to private authorities or similarly auto insurance companies from provincial to private, the price always goes up.
The beer store gave us identity now every corner store across the province. It’s going to have a neon flashing sign, saying beer or liquor. How classy.
Mate, the carbon pricing hasn't gone anywhere. You don't get a rebate now so laymen think it is gone because it suits their preconceived worldview box .
You can export steel to the EU if it's not carbon priced, however you have to pay a large fee to them to do so ... essentially the company ends up paying a carbon price to them instead of to the Canadian government, except their carbon price (the import tariff on non-carbon-priced goods) is quite a bit steeper than anything we'd apply to our industry, as it's meant to motivate countries to do their own carbon pricing, and favour the ones that already do.
Ya no that’s Doug ford absolutely ruined the beer recycling program in Ontario by shutting down the beer store
I don't feel bad about the beer store losing their monopoly.
Ford should have increased incentives for recycling so other beer retailers would be interested in participating in it.

Recycling empties is the sole responsibility of the unhoused, government doesn't need to interfere with their enterprise

You're confused, I'm not talking about privatization. The Beer Store is already a private company. I'm talking about monopolies vs an open market.

Conservatives sharing their opinions:
The grinch who stole carbon tax rebates
Wait, didn't he do that by cancelling the carbon tax? In a way he's more like the Once-ler?Â
[deleted]
And no tax at the pump, gas is like $1.11/L now
Mate, the carbon pricing hasn't gone anywhere. You don't get a rebate now so laymen think it is gone because it suits their preconceived worldview box .
Shell game to roll it into the part that doesn't provide a rebate.
All the downside with none of the part we were told was the upside.
Grinch like indeed
I thought the remaining carbon taxes were the ones on industry for export, like you cannot export steel to the EU unless it's already carbon priced.

Sounds like a tariff that Carney likes.
Elbows down.
Womp womp
Why self tariff at a higher rate than what the eu wants?
In the famous words of Victoria Nuland, "Fuck the EU"
When you tried to appear like a functional person but you've been poisoned by the glue from your "fuck Trudeau" stickers.Â
What's Trudeau got to do with this?
He's gone
His shitty policies remain.
If only they used a non-toxic adhesive. At least nothing of value was lost.Â
Imagine simping for carbon taxes and politicians on christmas and inferring your countrymen dont have "value"
Kind of sad, frankly.
Imagine basing your whole life around a public figure.
Canada can't afford another Liberal beer yoink. Axe the Grab
wtf u talking about lmao your dumbass far right government in Quebec has increased the price of everything within Quebec so blame them
My dude this is a shit post sub, don't take everything so seriously.
