You mean the provincial government owns all the liquor stores?  Besides,
no one said that you had to BUY wines that are made in South Africa.

     Yes.  This is Canada; the provincial governments license all sales
of liquor, and only in Quebec can you get liquor outside government-owned
stores (and then it's only beer and wine, in corner groceries).  Of
course all you God-fearing capitalists out there should be up in arms
about this.

     Neither does the provincial government.
