A call for the re-privatization of the liquor stores


Do you ever wonder if we got ahead when the government decided to privatize the liquor stories in Alberta? Is liquor more accessible at all hours of the day night? (yes) Did the prices go lower? (Maybe) Did we lose the chance to get a government subsidized cookbook issued quarterly that rocks? (definitely). Enter the LCBO "Food and Drink" cookbook that can arguably be deemed one of the most interesting cooking rags Canada has to offer. Ontario's liquor control board has worked hard to create this little treasure and it is a shame that one can't subscribe. So if you have a friend who happens to live in the centre of the universe (i.e., Toronto) or anywhere in the Ontario area, get them to pick one of these up for you 4 times a year. It might be worth your first born.
