...when I came across this odd paragraph:

So why change at all? Aren't we a government-run monopoly?

The answer to that is an emphatic no. By no means are we the only choice for consumers in this province. The public can turn to the privately owned Beer Store network, Ontario Winery Stores, on-site distillery and brewery stores, cross border shopping, U-Brews and the illegal market.

I hate the lcbo and beer stores.
No case of beer can be sold under $23.50 in ontario. Brutal.

I should write to them and ask for an explanation. I'd love to hear it.
