LCBO strike?

No, I criticized that as well.

Okay, so you criticized the Wynne Liberals for allowing grocery stores to carry beer and wine. Did you continue to criticize them after it was shown their decision resulted in greater sales and therefore increased government revenues? You know, more money for hospitals, etc...

But more specialized stores so you 'd have to drive further to get the choice you'd want, in that case.

Just say it. You can't stand anything Doug Ford does, even if the majority of voters like a lot of his ideas and the job he's doing. Rational people don't see the world the way you do.

The fact remains, the LCBO will continue to carry the same products they always have. Only now, grocery and corner stores will have the option to sell certain products as well. What this also means, is that small local breweries who can't get their products onto LCBO shelves, will have a greater ability to distribute their products. How is that a bad thing? It should also be noted, the LCBO is still in control and will receive revenue (taxes) on all alcohol sold in the province.

Less retail cash going to the government, more sales with profit going to private business.

We've been over this too many times already.
85% of the $2.5 billion or so the LCBO gives Ontario is profit from LCBO retail sales.
If that booze is sold in corner stores or privately owned stores the owners keep that profit.

I'll say it again. LCBO revenues increased when Kathleen Wynne allowed been and wine in grocery stores, even though the big bad supermarket chains made a profit. Same thing will happen once they allow wine, beer and RTD cocktails to be sold in more places. What's wrong with more convenience, selection and some independent store making a little more money?

Relax, the sky isn't falling.

They'd carry the stuff that sells. The LCBO is currently fighting over keeping stuff like White Claw exclusive to them. Do you think Loblaws wouldn't jump on that or any other trend?

Unfortunately, there is a lot of stuff you can't get in Ontario now because the LCBO doesn't want to carry it. Smaller specialty shops that are able to carry stuff mean more choices, not less.

If they want to survive, they'll need to carry the stuff that sells. If the LCBO can't make money off of these products, how is a specialty shop going to. And these specialty shops will only exist in the more affluential neighbourhoods.
