Oh Dalton! What logic you evidence!

According to our noble provincial premiere, the fact that a few store owners are in the habit of ripping off their lottery customers is a clear sign that they shouldn't be allowed to sell Ontario-produced wines or micro-brewery beers:

"McGuinty says the power should remain in the hands of trained professionals at the LCBO and the Beer Store."

Strange that he should pick on the lottery-seller scandal instead of the obvious talent that corner store owners have in restricting tobacco sales to minors... but I suppose you go with what's topical, eh?

It's a tough one to call

Yep. On the one hand, you have generally civilized urban areas in Europe that have had a long-standing tradition of treating alcohol primarily as a food.

And then on the other hand you have urban areas in the States where I fear that selling alcohol in generally unlicensed corner stores could be a contribution to urban decay.

So, they can do the same thing in Europe AND the US, but with different results? Hmmm. I wonder why.

Ha, ha. The world is a complicated place.
