Taxpayers group wants grocers to sell alcohol during LCBO strike 

No one is going to pay a cashier $32 per hour these workers are nuts

No one and I mean no one supports LCBO workers in any of this except themselves. "job security", are you kidding me? the gall and entitlement of these people is astounding.

Overpaid retail workers go back to work! It’s ok for the federal government to sell drugs everywhere but the province can’t sell beer in a convenience store??

A union whose employees' (opulent) wages are paid for by the Ontario taxpayers, dictates those taxpayers' freedom.

Marijuana shops on every corner but liquor needs to be controlled?

LCBO is a monopoly and needs to have competition

GET RID OF LCBO

Reality no LCBO all these people go on EI Part timers might need second job

LCBO is dead. Those Workers better start looking for a new job

no need of LCBO

Close LCBO down for eternity

When i was a kid it was easier to pot than booze

It's available in Walmarts in Ohio. Bought mine there last year. Should be here too. If Doug wasn't a Red Tory, this would have ended the day it began. Back to Work legislation should be imposed. It would have under Mike Harris.

Just helping grocery stores get richer, this is a short sighted

LCBO is an over paid gig that price gouges the living fuck out of us. Let the competition in and stop gatekeeping.

Follow the money, this clown is on the take.

The downfall of the LCBO MONOPOLY. Rip lcbo, hello private retail.

Wow... I wonder what the conservative payout was for that plug... let's not support the lcbo workers on strick, and focus on bring more opportunity to the grocers. This is such a joke.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation commenting on the LCBO is like having a Transmission Mechanic comment on Victorian Architecture.

Time for lower prices and convenience. Works in Quebec, works in NY State, Go Ford Go! LCBO is done

Canada taxpayers federation own bought by weston nd ford

Really? The "Taxpayers" care more about where they can buy alcohol then funding for health care, education, and infrastructure. I love when groups name themselves after who they're trying to screw over.

Make use of their online delivery service. Ordered a bottle Monday received it today. If people can get àlong without you, you aren't making a very good case for yourself by giving them the opportunity to find out that you aren't needed.

"More access" Yeah, just what society needs, more access to alcohol. I can't think of a single thing that could go wrong by doing that!

To hell with the lcbo!! Get rid of it and sell liquor everywhere

BUILD MORE LCBOS AND EXTEND THE HOURS.

IM A TAX PAYER, and I have no interest in selling alcohol spirits in grocery stores! Get back to the table ! A bunch of conservatives here

The Canadian Taxpayers Association is nuts, Privatization of alcohol sales will push prices up, increase drinking and driving, underage drinking, increase conveyance store robberies. 2.35 billion dollars in tax revenues are collected for the Province through the LCBO, Privatization will cause a tax increase to individual citizens

Extend the hours of the Kenora store?

Attention drinkers of booze! 🥃 This is a great chance to get off the sauce…Challenge yourselves. Drink Water 💦 Live longer. Cheers!

Drinking alcohol can have numerous negative effects on your health. Here are some of the key cons: Liver Damage: Prolonged alcohol consumption can lead to liver diseases such as fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Addiction: Alcohol is addictive and can lead to alcoholism, which is characterized by a strong craving for alcohol, loss of control over drinking, and withdrawal symptoms. Brain Damage: Alcohol can impair brain function, affecting memory, coordination, and judgment. Long-term use can lead to permanent brain damage and cognitive decline. Heart Problems: Excessive drinking can cause high blood pressure, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, and an increased risk of stroke. Digestive Issues: Alcohol can cause inflammation of the stomach lining (gastritis), pancreatitis, and an increased risk of stomach and esophageal cancers. Immune System Suppression: Alcohol weakens the immune system, making the body more susceptible to infections and diseases. Mental Health Issues: Alcohol can contribute to depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. It can also exacerbate existing mental health conditions. Weight Gain: Alcohol is high in calories and can contribute to weight gain and obesity. Sleep Disturbances: While alcohol can make you feel sleepy, it disrupts the sleep cycle, leading to poor sleep quality and fatigue. Accidents and Injuries: Alcohol impairs coordination and judgment, increasing the risk of accidents, injuries, and risky behaviors. Social and Legal Problems: Excessive drinking can lead to problems at work, strained relationships, legal issues (such as DUIs), and financial problems. These effects can vary depending on the amount of alcohol consumed, the frequency of consumption, and individual factors such as age, gender, and overall health.

Who is this guy huh what hes 20 what does he know

Union has come out and said the expansion of wine, beer, ciders is a point not being argued the table, it is a point that is agreed upon by both sides. The speaker here is claiming Union is 'totally' against convenience. Just did the taxes for his statements. Balance owe-ing for Jay.

You're walking a dangerous path with this press conference sir. Tread lightly

who is this 20 year old cue ball. nobody cares

Be quiet Poindexter, Let the workers strike. They are Ontarion taxpayers as well.

Humanity is unable to respond to evironmental catastrophy because humanity is drunk. The leaders are all having a great time enjoying drinks while the world burns.

Bye bye LCBO! And good riddance! Glorified Circle K employees. Not to slight Circle K employees whatsoever, they work very hard and deserve more respect, recognition, and appreciation for everything they do. But, LCBO workers….??? What makes them different? Circle K asks for I.D for tobacco products and lottery tickets- what makes them so special?
