Dude should be brewing his own if that's the case.

What a Great PIC. It's about time Breganzie Cambrian Shield Riders said something.

Know the Town well ;o)

I'm gonna steel your PIC and post it in Laverda Forums - Hope you don't mind.

It's weird to still see the retro beer stores around.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Not my pic. Though I had to take a second look since that looks a lot like our Beer Store at first glance.

My small town coworker told me that all small towns have three things: church, LCBO, Beer Store.

And a Legion hall.

I've been to a few places where the LCBO is tucked into the back of a gas station. That's how you know you're way up in the boonies.

The high in Timmins was higher today than in Austin, TX.

Sounds about right lol. And probably a Tim Hortons.

i hope canada doesn't get it's beer sold in variety stores.

there is nothing like the familiarity of the big brown brick building and the glowing orange sign.

Wow never would have figured. But yeah it was nice and hot today. Went out without a coat. Only the second time this year I could do that.

LCBO?

 

[master_shake_]

LCBO?

liquor control board of ontario

in ontario you can't buy liquors and wine at beer stores and you can't buy a 24, 28, 15, and i think 12 pack of beer at the liquor store.

 

[Z15CAM]

There are convince stores open 24/7 in Northern Ontario that have a LCBO License but few and far between (Old Trapping Licenses). Have you noted the Grocery Stores are about to legally sell Beer.

fuck off.

[Z15CAM]

YES! It will be implemented this summer but no Liquor.

Saves you a trip to the Beer Store - What Not

wow.

i am genuinely shocked.

i thought ontario would rather die than give up its monopoly on booze.

 

[Z15CAM]

Very close to Manitoba Booze Laws but I doubt you will be able to buy a 24 from a Bar at closing time.

I haven't researched at all, but I read somewhere that there will only be a finite number of licenses available, so it won't be a free for all? Heard complaints about how only big stores would be able to "win" a license.

Probably family of MP's.

The Libs like to throw the occasional bone to make you forget about all the bad/corrupt stuff they've done.

I suspect beer sales don't generate that much revenue for the LCBO because of the Beer Store. Since they're owned by the three mega breweries, they've been pretty shitty towards craft brewers. This will allow smaller companies to get their products into retail.

Remember the government still collects tax on any alcohol sold, which is going up.

Your probably thinking about Mulroney and AirBus - LOL - I don't why he isn't in jail - Not that that I'm Anti-Lib, other somewhat Anti- Queens Park and Hog Town.

probably the same reason mcwynety is still out walking the streets after destroying evidence in an ongoing investigation.

 

[Red Squirrel]

So much corruption. Let's not get started with the gas plant. Multi billion dollar of tax dollars wasted. Not to mention the environmental impact of such a large project, only to scrap it.

There's a few of these around here as well, i can think of 2 withing 15 minutes of my place, mainly for the small communities to far from a real store.
