Beer and wine aren't any cheaper at the grocery store . Shouldn't the competition bring the prices down ? The same people that gouged us during the pandemic are going to give us a better price ?
@@underedenxx it's kind of a joke about the scam that happened in 2020. Remember? Liquor stores were declared essential? And I guess strip clubs while churches were shut down under police surveillance photographing attendees licence plates etc 😂
There’s no reason the government to be in the retail liquor business. They can get rid of all the overpaid government employees and let the private sector do the retail. They still collect all the taxes but don’t have all the overhead. Works in Alberta and BC and in a few other provinces as well.
@@dinkusmcgee1015 Compared to the private sector with benefits and pensions I doubt that is true. Why go on strike for a job that doesn’t pay well enough to make it worthwhile.
Go Ford. LCBO is just a retail store like walmart. If their employes are working for minimum wage. so does LCBO workers should. I dont support their nonsense strike
@@jumbome7420 What am I not getting here? They aren't working. They decided to quit for a while. So why not fire these people teach? These big bad unions a lesson that they can't hold the people of ontario hostage
I agree with Doug Ford on this just like I agreed with Doug Ford on the Hamas protesters blocking bridges, university campuses and threatening school children.
People who support the LCBO strike are confusing. These are the same people who don't private monopoly because it lacks competition but when it comes to the LCBO its the greatest thing since sliced bread. You can't have it both ways.
great video that Dougie did to inform Ontarians there are other places to support that sell alcohol. The strike may backfire and end the monopoly making lcbo even more over paid and more irrelevant . Support small business like mom and pop places and not padding Galens wallet further for sure.
So what make prices higher now? For shelve stockers? Give me a break the only reason why there’s any profits for the LC is cause the people of Ontario not the workers
quit being so greedy LCBO in my town your in an inconvenient spot and only open from 10-6...grocery stores are usually open from 8-10, I want to go camping or get something after work, my margins are narrow and no one company should have the monopoly on a product anyway
Doug Ford's big-brain-solution is to provide 'interactive maps' and idiotic tone-deaf commercials that only proves what a completely disconnected pillock he actually is...
Love when the fools walk up expecting to pick up thier booze bashing the employes for Doug Fords screw up. I am one that does not to see booze soid in local stores this will open a new can of worms for store employes and not in a good way. Ford needs to rethink this.
Again what's the actual point of this strike I understand that it's about job security but however and this is the big elephant in the room with the amount of people that drink in Ontario it's a 2.5 BILLION dollar industry not a single store should close with a provincial industry that profitable at the end of the day it boils down to three things and the workers themselves don't even realize they're being used as pawns in someone else's game....1) it's about the LCBO themselves the actual company keeping the Monopoly on liquor sales.. 2) it is about the higher ups in the company not making as much money if this were to actually get passed which will result in the workers themselves getting fired for one reason alone so the CEO and other higher up can make up the difference in lost profits it has nothing to do with not being able to stay afloat as a company.. And lastly 3) they don't realize this but they're not going to see a single cent of what they're actually fighting for yeah if they win corner stores won't be able to sell liquor but it's not like that money is going into they're pockets it's going into the CEOs, stock holders, an financial backers pockets... If the workers should be protesting anybody they should be protesting their own company you know get a proper wage things like that but that's not what this strike is actually about.. it's about a company which is government-owned I'll add keeping a monopoly over a industry which I'll add as well monopolizing in Canada isn't technically illigal but from canada.ca's own words "the size of a business even one that dominates a particular market is not necessarily cause for concern however the law prohibits a company from using its market power in a way that hurts competition in the marketplace" which is exactly what the Lcbo is doing using their status as a large company that is government-owned and supported to hurt their competition in the marketplace and ensure there is none
