Not true. We deal with alot of bullshit in this trade as well. I don't live in Ontario, but I wasn't off when COVID was a scary thing. I worked my ass off too especially when everyone panic bought just like in this video.

I have been drinking way too much. Maybe taking a break from the bottle would be a good thing for me. 😅

Just stop LCBO monopoly

I could care less, I don’t drink. I’m retired and can’t go on strike to get an increase in CPP and OAS to deal with the higher cost of living. Enjoy the picket line duties in the hot muggy weather and no sympathy from the public.

Just privatize alcohol ffs what the hell is the lcbo for anyway, anyone should be able to sell alcohol this is dumb.

Uhmmm - Like the rest of the world?

They're striking because of their wages. Whoever works at lcbo needs to understand that they're equivalent to a grocery store cashier. You are already paid more with better work conditions.

Working at the LCBO is not the same as working at a grocery store. No one would work at a liquor store in Ontario, especially in a big city, for minimum wage. They would not be able to retain employees. It's much easier to work at Walmart, Tim Hortons, Loblaws, etc. and not have to deal with dangerous angry drunks on a daily basis. The small premium in pay is necessary.

You have to understand they are privatizing the retail,not LCBO never is going to be privatization. Already sold 2800 new licenses for corner store to their friends. All the alcohol is still with LCBO....

Is it not the media's purpose to inform the public of the issue at hand? The facts. Do a little research and publish the wages of this lot. Top down preferred.

Concerns?? Some people have wine and booze cellars, 99% do not. The only concern restaurants should have is if they have enough staff to serve the massive increase in customers.

1) minimize negative externalities to the public, businesses, and consumers; 2) localize the dispute; the government and union need to figure out how to minimize job losses. show us the efforts, and you shall receive public support.

Close all LCBO this staf is kiling 100s of people every day

Just drive to Quebec. Booze is 50% off there.

Would be interesting to see statistics for the number of DUIs and incidents of IPV during the period of the strike, amongst other alcohol-related offences.

Monopoly.

No offense Girl, I understand it's the current fashion, but it probably cost 100$ to get her hair that messy. As one Irish Coworker said back in the day to me, "you could get sea sick looking at your hair". Ah when I had hair....

LCBO is awfully stupid. The public attitude towards eliminating the LCBO monopoly will only be encouraged after this action.

The LCBO is a monopoly that can’t compete in the open market. That’s why they’re doing this.

dont get it, out herewe got lcbo and beer outlets in gas bars and corner stores, just run by their owners, open every day and hollidays…. we are rural,

Hahaha good thing I don’t drink alcohol 🥃

1) It's AFFECT, not EFFECT (this is not the first time too!) 2) I still don't understand the reasoning why the LCBO decided to shut down the stores for two weeks. 3) While I sympathize with with F&B stores, their "cry wolf" is starting to become the similar to the story. They're all complaining that they haven't recovered... after the strike is over, what's next? Are they going to blame the diners for not ordering enough (overpriced) food?

It is difficult to consider a news-media source reputable when the copy editing is so sloppy. The strangest part though is the deliberate choice to ignore the corrections and feedback from the comments section. It's as though they are adamant in their improper use of language. How difficult would it be to edit an "e" for an "a"?

Was out when I heard about the strike, so I went to my local Metro that, surprise, doesn’t sell liquor. I called another Metro in the area which also doesn’t sell any. They told me to check stores all over the city…like I’ve got time to do that. And no, The Beer Store isn’t an option.
