Where does James Ready fit in here??

Can you say "brewers monopoly"? The recent brew-ha-ha about corner-store
liquor sALEs in Ontario just goes to show you what dumbsh*t provincialism
and commercial pressure will do.

Don't count yourself so unlucky. Here in snowy Alberta, they have one-stop
shopping for beer, wine & spirits, but get this....

	THEY DON'T TAKE EMPTIES !!!

Amazing, isn't it? You have to go to a brewery to get your deposit back.
If stores sold POP on that basis, they'd be breaking the law!!
