Locnar Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 In my opinion, the LCBO shouldn't exist at all. Alcohol should be sold anywhere that wants to sell alcohol. The government monopoly over alcohol is preposterous. They receive 0 sympathy from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I guess they have a 4 year contract. Why I found my sisters Jimmy stuffed full of booze when she died in 2009... as her and her friends were afraid they'd have no booze for the big party in Tweed! They seem to be a month or so early this time though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhickey Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Im lucky this time aruond. Ill be working on the long weekend. It doesnt effect my favorate store in the whole WORLD The Beer Store.. I remember lining up for 30 mins just to grab a 24 from the Molson plant 427 and 401 AHHHRRGGGG....

fishindevil Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 That's always the advantage of fishing the Ottawa river !!!!! Just cross over into Quebec and its all good !!!!! I remember back when beer stores were closed on Sundays and we would just motor over to Quebec and get beer or whatever !!!! Could buy worms,beer and a bottle of rye,as well as get our grocery supplies all in one general store !!!!!! Ontario is so bass-akwards we are still in the dark ages compared to other provinces !!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
