Does that mean that all grocery store and convenience store owners in Ontario will have to sack their employees under the age of majority? After all, they will be serving liquor. The LCBO also does a great job of not serving those under the influence. Without proper legislation and control this could be a huge issue around fighting drunk drivers. You also choose not to deal with the main issue, which is that those taxes help pay for our health care. This is something that should be protected at all cost. By the way, booze is not any cheaper in Alberta where the Tories chose to privatize the service. Only the selection is poorer because the profit becomes more important that service and community safety.
Then again, what the heck as this got to do with touring?
