You think that tripling the number of private retail stores will actually bring in less money and be less convenient?
Profit from LCBO retail stores provide almost all the cash the LCBO sends Ontario.
Private stores will send that profit to the owners.

How can you not understand this?

Just for clarity. The LCBO already has privatization. Go to many small towns and you find licensed private distributors. Who do you think gets the profit?
And the amount sent to the government of Ontario declined when this happened.

Family doctors leaving the business all across the province.
Nurses left after Bill 124 and most new nurses are now Filipino.
Hospitals closed.


Filipino nurses are in your list of bad things that Ford has done to Ontario health? Why do you feel that they are inferior?

Pretty damn racist Geno.

More stores, more convenience, more sales, more money to LCBO.
Reduced overhead by trimming down on LCBO operations for retail means more profit.

Combined, those two aspects would generate more for the province than the current arrangement.

Alberta generates more money for the government per capita on liquor than Ontario.

There is nothing wrong with Filipino nurses, Shazi.
But they are here and working here because after Bill 124 DoFo chased Ontario nurses out of the province.
The Filipino nurses will leave here as well after their training because they can make more elsewhere.

Holy shit is that stupid, skoob.
Why do you think private stores will give their profit to the LCBO?
The LCBO sends profit from retail sales to the province, private stores will keep it for their owners.

Why does a listing of Ford's shortcomings need to refer to Filipinos as part of the fallout from his decisions?

You complain: We needed new nurses and nooow most of them are Filipinos because of Ford. That is hardly an endorsement, Geno.

You haven't explained why it was necessary to mention any heritage at all. Unless you wanted to emphasize his incompetence by including, "Well, on top of that we ended out with mostly Filipinos nurses."

You have no right to accuse anybody else of being a racist.

What a stupid argument, Shazi.
Identifying the demographics of international nursing students as largely Filipino is no more racist than saying most international students are South Asian.

Genocidal zionists are as racist as humanly possible, Shazi.
You are as racist as possible.

Bottom line here is the LCBO is still a profitable business for Ontario. Why are we trying to weaken it?
I don't want mom and pop liquor stores popping up in every neighborhood...It's fine the way it is.

Maybe he hates Filipinos as much as he hates Jews and that is a hommie who REALLY hates the Jews.

that's what the LCBO is afraid also...

The government makes their money on the high taxes they collect on alcohol. So privatisation is a way to cut their operating cost by a lot.

but they would lose control fast... indeed.

P.S. i remember about 25 years ago there was a big difference in the cost between lcbo and quebec saq. I know i was living in Hull (now called gatineau). We were all crossing the bridge as every bottle was 1-2 $ less in ottawa. To remedy the situation lcbo raised all their prices on par with saq. Great consumer services... :(

The union fucked itself and it looks good on them. The government infree market economy should not be selling goods. I am not sure why anyone who doesn't work for the lcbo is against this. It will save hundreds of millio s of dollars

Are you kidding?
The LCBO retail stores return over $2 billion in profit to the Ontario government.

That profit will just go to Loblaws and 7 Eleven instead.
Ontario could have $2 billion less in the budget after this move.

Where? Show the math.

And the worst part is all this so called "saving" just gets redirected into Galen Weston's pocket. Why should we share any profit margins to a private entity?

Second, The LCBO is the best shopping experience. Not once have I found buying beer at a grocery store or corner shop appealing.

As the old saying goes: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Where do private stores get their booze?
While they won't give their profits, LCBO will profit from the distribution sales and taxes. With many more stores, they will make more profit than the LCBO currently does especially if/when they close the LCBO retail stores.

Alberta privatized and the government makes more off liquor per capita than Ontario. The model works and they've been doing it for 30 years.

No, skoob.
Almost all the cash that the LCBO sends Ontario comes from retail sales.
You don't get any of that if you're a distributor.

How can you fail to understand business and sales so massively?
What kind of job do you actually do?
Security guard?
Bus driver?
Phys Ed teacher?

If it's so stupid, why have you not been able to explain your need to make sure that people knew that the nurses who quit will be replaced by, can you believe it, Filipino nurses. Whether it is true or not, what relevance does it have in a post condemning Ford other than to magnify your condemnation of him.

You fucked up Geno. You exposed your racism, but this time towards Filipinos instead of Jews.

Why, Geno, why? Why was adding Filipino nurses to your post so important? You have no answer, but I'm the one that's stupid?
