LCBO strike?

[RobI]

...and that's why we need to go back to keeping things behind the counter and instead of hiring a bunch of useless clerks that do nothing all day, they should invest in better security.

Spending money on building lavish stores is a waste of time. It's not Holt Renfrew.

btw all those stolen bottles leaving the store...that's our taxpayer money.

I agree; I don't see why an LCBO needs to look any fancier than a Service Ontario building. We seem to be doing fine without government-run pot shops - they're on every corner.

Unfortunately, the reason you don't see more products in supermarkets is because of the legislation that govern the LCBO. The government could change those anytime, but they haven't done so (yet).

Good list of local places to get your beer while supporting local businesses:

LCBO stores close as workers go on strike. Here’s where you can get beer, wine and spirits in Toronto instead

All LCBO retailers across the province are closed for two weeks as workers go on strike. Try these local alternatives instead.

Sure, if you don't mind your taxes being raised to cover the $2.5 billion in lost revenue.

You have to remember, Repugs do not care about the government making money, i.e. 407 under Harris, GONE to the private sector for peanuts. Now they chant to do away with a money-making operation like the LCBO and give it to the private sector which can employee folks at minimum wage so Scoob could have another wet dream.

They also miss the fact that as Union jobs get a wage increase or some benefit it trickles down to the private sector but hey, keep the folks down because they want to rage against anything not under the Conservative Twat Machine.

I hope Pee Pee governs how you propose so he and the NeoCons will be demolished after one term. I pray he goes to war with Federal Unions and creates a shitstorm that will wipe his sorry ass out.

I hope once he's done, there won't be any federal unions left.
Now run along and go cry to your local Liberal MP...who is also crying btw. Lol!

The only crying is from your side of the fence. Raging over everything while living in Mom's basement is the norm for the radical right, isn't it?

Who is the "radical right" you are referring to here?

People who have had enough of being taxed to death by a current government that has made life unaffordable? Wow how radical!

 

[Skoob]

What other jobs do you think you can get for 10% of Canadians making minimum wage?

That's not the question you should be asking...

The question you should be asking is, why can't someone find a job that pays more than minimum wage?

Why would you think there would be $2.5 billion in lost revenue?
Private stores would still need to pay the LCBO (distribution/wholesaler)
The LCBO's operating expenses would drop significantly since they wouldn't have to operate stores and keep as much staff.
There would be way more private stores selling product than the 680 LCBO stores now. More stores, more convenience, more choice, more sales, more profits.

Do you know it costs close to $1 billion annually to operate the retail stores?

You can stop your usual tactic of doom/gloom any time.

Yes, of course, Justin invented COVID and curtailed the supply lines, started the war in Ukraine and caused inflation only in Canada. Yup, you have it all figured out. LMAO

In the meantime keep hoping your side kills good-paying jobs to erode the middle class further because that is what is best for the economy.

BTW, do you still believe the tax payers are supporting the LCBO??

Skoob, the answer is because there aren't better jobs for 10% of the Country.
Get out of your mom's basement and try to find a job yourself.

The LCBO gives $2.5 billion to Ontario for education and health care.
What do do for the province?

You think 7 Eleven will give Ontario its profit from liquor sales?
I didn't think you were that stupid, but you do constantly surprise me that way.

Ah right...when Trudeau fucks up it's everyone else's fault...just like he always says.
Fact is, Canada has been declining compared to other G20 countries since 2015...guess who took over in 2015?

Skoob, the answer is because there aren't better jobs for 10% of the Country.

That answer makes no sense. Are all the good jobs gone? Every company out there has all the skilled labour they can handle? No one can start their own business any longer?
Make your response make sense please.

And you can stop using your broad 10% narrative as it's misleading. More than half the people earning minimum wage are 15-24 year olds. You are peddling misleading info again.



We use Statistics Canada’s “Low Income Cutoff” line, or LICO, to assess the extent to which minimum wage earners live in low income families.

We show that that 8.8 percent of all workers earn the minimum wage. Further, we find that 7.7 percent of all minimum wage earners in Canada live in households that are below the LICO after taxes and transfers. This means that 92.3 percent of minimum wage earners live in households that are above the LICO. The reason for this is driven primarily by the fact that most minimum wage workers are not primary breadwinners in their households but rather are secondary or tertiary earners. Out of the eight provinces for which adequate data was available, the share ranked from a low of 6.6 percent in Alberta to 14.5 percent in Manitoba.

Our analysis also examines the age profile of minimum wage workers. We find that 53 percent of all minimum wage workers are between the ages of 15 and 24. The share of minimum wage workers in this age group varies considerably from province to province.

For many younger minimum-wage workers, the evidence suggests that jobs paying the minimum wage are a first step towards higher-paid compensation. One recent study, for instance, shows that 46.4 percent of minimum wage workers had been in their job for less than a year. Finally, our data show that just 2.2 percent of minimum wage workers are single parents with a child or children under the age of 18.

Is that what the voices in your head are telling you?

Where will 7 eleven get it's liquor from?
