It is amazing how the rest of the world has way more options to buy alcohol, and here now, we have a strike to keep it in a single option like in LCBO. People really don't like to evolve and leave the dark ages behind.
It’s the same in Quebec with SAQ
Like people complain about Blockbuster closing down but later on they adapt with Netflix Online Streaming instead
Privatize alcohol we're all sick of the LCBO archaic bullshit.
That’s what they are doing
Yup 100%
Some countries like Germany, Italy and Japan even have alcohol vending machines. Ontario is still in the dark ages when it comes to alcohol sales thanks to LCBO and it’s union
Lmao these guys, the other provinces are privatized and still put more into health care or roads than we do here, and theyre cheaper and taxed less too, get that nonsense out of here
@@tra3803 LCBO income goes directly into OPSEW pension plans and execitive convention parties
It baffles me that there is a union for literally retail workers. No disrespect to the workers as they are great people doing there best to get by in the world but they are not nurses, or construction workers or teachers or pilots with specialized skill sets and vital responsibilities. IMO this is the line where unions should not exist. If they do not like the job that they have then they can work elsewhere and someone else looking for a job would gladly come in take their spot. There should be no Union for such a thing like the LCBO.
@@CaeridLock.yea that’s not true at all
@@Michael-pg7rv should privatecunion exist then?
Why not a pirate ship selling rum for 13 bucks a 26er docked in lake Ontario
Yo ho Yo ho a pirates life for me!
i can be a pirate for a day.
@@scottcarey7725 "I"
these clowns can stay on strike and picket indefinitely as far as I care.
follow the ford moneytrail
Seriously. Not every union is worthy of their demands.
Good thing it doesn’t matter what you care about
@@Michael-pg7rv u ghijk private union way better
@@junkfoodguy😂😂😂
Hope people change habits and buy local now.
@@MrGoodsalesman yeah a big NO! I like tequila, French, Spanish wines, champagne etc and I buy Canadian beer & whiskey freedom of market and choice!
Ontario stuck in the sixties when it comes to dealing with liquor sales
Nope that’s why it’s moving to stores
I was thinking it's still stuck in 1927.
@@Adrian802 clearly you weren’t thinking
More like the 1920s & it's prohibition and we only buy from them!!
Stuck in the 1930’s. Prohibition ended here in 1920.
shut down the LCBO.....shutdown this government boondoggle
give loblaws baron deal?
Be quiet junk food guy the fact your brains incapable of ever conceiving of a retail outlet other than Loblaws is shocking. And is it really better the government just takes all the money because they're taxing us constantly anyways so it's not like it doing anything
@@junkfoodguy⬅️ lcbo employee right there….. he goes on and on about ford and grocery stores…
Deflecting the issue won’t help your strike ….
but but, "2 billion dollars goes to our schools & healthcare" 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@scottcarey7725 yup but ford gave 125 million dollars to the beer store
Nobody goes to LCBO to buy Ontario wines
Arw ontario wine shop goingsell whiskey vodka bourbon ready to make drinks
lol definitely not Canadain are youb
@jumbome7420 most of Ontario Wines carried by LCBO are pretty much crap except for barely a handful. Most of premium Niagara Wines are found in the winery itself. You're bit going to find Peller Signature at lcbo
@@junkfoodguy
Yup just like I thought, your an lcbo employee lol
End this monopoly now !!!
vs overpriced?
@@junkfoodguycompetition creates low prices
@@junkfoodguy
Wrong!
Competition brings prices down.
Just admit your an lcbo employee
what's at stake ? When they get 4$ an hour raise wine and beer will be cheaper ! NOT and then same people that support them will complain about prices
@@life4youtoenjoy wasn't beer suppose be cheaper even they put into grocery stores
Doug Ford got the free paper bags at the LCBO. Now get rid of the Deposit Return Program. I want to Chuck my empties in the recycling not have to find a Beer Store to get my deposits refunded.
Opening up the industry will vastly improve the market for producers and consumers. More craft breweries, specialty wine producers and so on will have more outlets to get their product on the shelf, which they otherwise could not do in the LCBO. This will mean way more choice and with the competition. Most of the cost of Alcohol is tied up in taxes so the prices may not become more competitive but the product surely will.
Didn't they say the samething bout beer storeloik what hapoened
@@junkfoodguy 😂
But now everyone knows you’re an lcbo employee guy….
Go back to your picket line …..
The People of Ontario should have the right to not pay any taxes until they fix this problem. That Liquor belongs to the people. Not the governmnet. And why do we allow the government to control alcohol and tobacco. People can protect their own kids. If anything make penalties for committing crimes under the influence a lot worse also supplying to minors will land a person in prison. Most people are smart and rational and we have to crack down on the bad people
did beer prices comedown?
lol what a bunch of nonsense. Maybe understand what your talking about
Another benefit of living in Ottawa, SAQ is just across a bridge.
WTF is Doug Ford doing with all his private spa and science centre bribe money?
Yea that’s not true.
@@jumbome7420 follow the money of weston dias ND ford then
LCBO is overrated.
The Ford government is working hard… for Loblaws. 👎
They’d be happy to see the LCBO’s business go to the grocery barons instead. Meanwhile, the people of Ontario rely on the LCBO to the tune of $2.5 BILLION annually in funding for hospitals, schools, transit, and so much more.
But that’s not all that Ford wants to take away from Ontario. He could care less that 9000 good union jobs at community LCBO stores are at risk. At a time when people are pressed harder than ever by the high cost of living, this loss would be devastating in communities across the province.
Loblaws and the grocery barons are not going to spend billions on public health care and education. And they certainly aren’t offering the solid jobs people need right now. This is just the latest evidence that Ford is in it for his friends and donors, not us.
The LCBO has a strong Union.
@@junkfoodguy
Hey it’s the lcbo employee again….
We’d all like to see liquor everywhere but the lcbo!
You should start looking for a new job
Lol Doug ford leaving office and single handedly selling all the alcohol
Better for Health !
More people just getting used to buying beer & wine from the grocery store, existing beer stores, wine shops and on site stores at brewers & distilleries.😂😂
hoiw the selection?
Well personally when I first moved to Kitchener in my early twenties I lived in the suburbs and rarely drank hard liquor unless I wanted a cocktail at the bar so on my days off work I would go to the little wine store in the nearby plaza if I wanted a few drinks and I think it was a good option they had different hours and I didn't need to drive it was walking distance maybe some people will just drink less now because of the inconvenience and also cost of living now maybe they can't afford as much booze now anyway.
Most employees today work 40 hours or less a week instead of 50 or more, because the railroad unions went on strike for a shorter work week with the same pay in the 1950s. They won that historic battle despite the railway companies’ mendacious claim they’d never be able to afford it. It was a labour victory that led in a few years to the adoption of the 40-hour work week as a standard schedule across the country.
lol yea that’s not true at all
Just remember people wanted beer store down because they wanted cheap beer samething happening lcbo
The price wont go down.
Yet that what they bout beer store yet neo cons wanna get of it
But something will happen right price gouging 101
Later, the provision of year-long legislated paid parental leave was sparked by a breakthrough at the bargaining table by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, which made it a priority in negotiations. This gain, too, like the 40-hour work week, soon became a universal benefit.
That's it union. Stay on strike for a couple of years. People will realize that there are other options. The LCBO is an outdated concept. Private businesses can sell marijuana they can sell whiskey.
@@user-xd7ui1wf8h was tge beer store outdated?
Commercial pot sucks, still cheaper and much better to get it the old way.
Pot shop lcbo were supposed be together who gave them sweetheart feal
@@junkfoodguy the beer store is not run by the government.
If they opened it up then there would be more local retail stores which would open up revenue streams for many more local producers who otherwise cannot sell to the market because they can't get their stock on the shelves of the LCBO who are in the pockets of giant corporations.
It would be much better. Every small town would have there own local store that would carry hyper specialized beers and wines from local producers and the region. Less market share for Labatt and Molson.
Why are we unlike everyone else around the world ?
I remember when grocery stores gouged us during the pandemic , it was proven . We should boycott them for what they did .
Gouging you say! A sixy ounder was $58.95 in 2020. Now we don't pay for license plates ad my sixth ounder nw costs $69.95! Go fkn figure
Spellchk
@@garvdarb Did prices come down for beer and wine when they started selling them in the grocery stores ?
@@johngawrylash7732 nope
@@garvdarbso ut grocery store gouge tiu
So far, I've heard alternatives for beer, seltzers and coolers, but none for spirits. This is where the big deal is. You can't buy a bottle of Jack Daniel's or Captain Morgain anywhere in Ontario other than the LCBO.
@@mark_beastpriest5539 why should beer store be selling lottery tickets
Yes you can, I did last Friday and will this Friday. But as soon as the primary LCBO outlets open back up I will go back to them.
Where did you do that?
I live close to a LCBO Convenience Outlet. Its in a gas station/convience store. Same prices as LCBO but very limited selection.
In a year you will see huge closer of LCBO locations . People will be pushed out. Unions just want bigger survannce packages for the old staff. Not much benefit to the public. Land development
So it was give a beer store handout
this is insane..why isnt these private? and they want 50 bucks an hour? lolz
Privatize non-essential goods like booze and let capitalism lower costs but important things like hospitals and highways should be owned by the public and not run for profit.
didnt they samething beer store?
@@junkfoodguy Nobody goes to the Beer store to buy craft beers. The beer store only sells alcohol from giant corporations who set a market price. It is a fixed monopolized market. Open it up so that local stores can serve whatever they want and you will have true competition. I was in Boston a few years back and me and my friends went to a Beer retail store have of the stuff they sold was from obscure microbreweries. It was a true local small business and they had their own merch and drinking accessories and snacks at the front. It was a great shopping experience compared to what we have in Ontario.
@@Michael-pg7rv ill ask you again since your oustsier doesnt know what is going on right?see ford have beer store lifelinbe because he ford dintwanna pay fines butlook atgrocery storelesss selection!lcbo righbeheerre but lobbyist ike galen weston want bigger piece ofhe pie so he screw consumer sover
Perfect time for Doug Ford's government to implement Right to Work legislation (make union dues optional) & privatize & advocate for tariffs.
@@michaelanderson3096 so it ok ye have summer vacation while grt paid by taxpayers
Oh ya increase Loblaws profits
You are wrong Liquor Store should be private biz, not run by government! No competition no good deals in prices, NO SELECTION ! etc oh for Christ sake go to the states and see. Let people make money!
Should privatize beer store
Will never gi to LCBO first again
Did u aay samething bout beer store?
People will just go border shopping in Buffalo for alcohol now. The lcbo workers are dumb in making ridiculous demands.
@@mejason4 yiy wanna sell out loblaws it already happened once maple contrsct
No they wont, what a silly comment.
Go pooj Kalle private Healthcare
Stay strong with the unions. Ford took away rent control and look what has happened since. LEtting the big box store sell liqour will just result in ford closing lcbo stores and cutting jobs.
lol rent prices have nothing to do with ford. Liberal harder
Private=Better
But is it
Did beer come down like they said they woukd

You’ll find no support here guy
Most useless strike ever. Everyone should be able to sell alcohol.

Yea this part I cannot get behind. I wish there was more of an emphasis on smaller local producers. In time though there will be a thriving Ontario Alcohol industry if they open it up. If you build it they will come.
Even when sold in convenience stores the taxes from booze will be there to fund everything you listed. I'm all for Unions, but there is no skilled labor of any kind there (LCBO).
What's ironic about all this is that Alberta sales are private and more money from Alberta alcohol sales goes to their Healthcare then Ontario's. So everything you just wrote is a giant crock
