Can you say "brewers monopoly"? The recent brew-ha-ha about corner-store liquor sALEs in Ontario just goes to show you what dumbsh*t provincialism and commercial pressure will do. >There is something vitally wrong with the Canadian alcohol industry and >particularly Ontario (where else do you have to go to separate stores to >get wine and beer?). Something should be done. Don't count yourself so unlucky. Here in snowy Alberta, they have one-stop shopping for beer, wine & spirits, but get this.... THEY DON'T TAKE EMPTIES !!! Amazing, isn't it? You have to go to a brewery to get your deposit back. If stores sold POP on that basis, they'd be breaking the law!! >Scott J. M.
