Seem like there is a story every other week on how the McGuinty government is ripping off Ontarians.
Did you read the article?
"While Premier Dalton McGuinty wants savings passed on to consumers, the LCBO has a policy of �social responsibility� which prevents them from bringing prices down to a level which would encourage alcohol abuse."
This one's on the LCBO, not the Liberal government.

I assume you know who owns and operates the LCBO?
How does it feel to be a sheep?
This is just another case of Ontario rolling over and taking it, why is no one outraged, where is the petition to hold a referendum? At least in BC they have the balls to fight it. Everyone will complain and no one likes but everyone just sits on their asses and lets the government have their way with your wallet.

Aw, cmon Stokes. It anin't that bha a a a d!

HST hasn't gotten the same kind of media play that it has out in BC. Most people do not know this is coming.
I'm not far from packing my bags and renting my house out.

Owns, yes, operates, no. But this is an excellent time to re-open the privatization debate for the LCBO. That was a part of McGuinty's platform during his first run at premier.
Which means you're gonna pay a buck more and the waitress gets half the tips anywhere else.
Here 90% of people are so goddam cheap they don't tip at all in a bar. No shit, they look at me like Im a showoff when I give her a $5 and refuse the change every time, and they're too fucking stupid to figure out why my table gets served fast and they wait. 50 lousy cents...
Seriously, are they telling us that a 10-25 cent in a bottle of booze/wine is going to encourage heavier drinking and impaired driving?
And this is their excuse for actually the overall price instead of just adjusting it for the decrease.
I remember when politicians and gov't organs put some imagination in their bullshit stories. Now, it's like they don't even try.
