- As Tina Yazdani reports, politicians hit the LCBO picket lines Tuesday to support workers, as Ontario's finance minister penned a new letter to LCBO management, promising to support them through the alcohol expansion this fall.
Every one complains about gas prices it would be nice to walk to the corner and buy my liquor. Save gas less pollution
Less pollution than what? Electric vehicles produce even more pollution. More pollution actually comes from brakes that are the same in all vehicles. "It found that brakes and tires on EVs release 1,850 times more particle pollution compared to modern tailpipes" electric motors brake with more particulate matter, heavy metals, than gas or diesel engines.
Alkohol known to cause cancer and car accidents ..does the LCBO monopoly really want to talk about health care
Right thats exactly what I was thinking
@@rafial81 the union is talking about Healthcare, not the lcbo.
um... what we eat, drink can potentially lead to cancer. Even walking outside, the sun can cause cancer. Might as well starve and/or die of thirst.
@@samg8012 what private union bosses Jerry dias saying bout lcbo or galen saying both have been quiet
The government would get the same amount of tax money and lose all the overhead if the closed the government outlets. There’s no reason why they shouldn’t close the retail stores and let the private sector sell it. Seems to work just fine in Alberta.
Would u want loblaws nd no frills closed
@@junkfoodguy I fail to see what grocery stores have to do with closing government liquor stores and letting private businesses sell liquor. It works in Alberta and there are liquor stores all over the place. Some are within sight of each other. Don’t see how they make any money but I suppose Albertans are mostly alcoholics.
@@Timberland1963 I bet footholdinzlberta with his branded stores right?see galen has Doug by private Healthcare look it up.but you think let have profit go to galen close up lcbo gp because 2.5 billion goes to straight galen.i wonder hale nd Danielle have sweetheart made right sell liquor his stores

@@junkfoodguy what the total f are you taking about? Perhaps you should put the bottle down for a bit and take off the tin foil hat so that you can try to attempt to make a coherent post.
I find staff provide poor customer service We need to modernize
I live in BC and formerly Alberta. Most people have a liquor store in walking distance. When I lived in Ontario most people drove to the LCBO. Increase convenience and use BC and Alberta as the template. End the monopoly.
Yky neverclook google map see how many lcbo store are in walking distsnc36
Time to end the antiquated liquor monopoly that is the LCBO
why should they make more then grocery store workers?
Ask galen
@@junkfoodguy you can chose to not shop at loblaws. we have options. go to chinese or any of the ethnic store.
@@barryallen6927yiu love sole source contract to thst are friends with tord right
Because the LCBO is a public asset. That means the employees are public servants. Grocery stores are owned by one person collecting all the profits and then keep the employees at a low wage so CEOs get all the monies themselves
Is the Union afraid of competition?
You rather sellout to gslen
Ontario is a monopoly of Unions. All government jobs and manufacturing companies. All those Union Dues are keeping lots of profits for someone!
@maryjeagalen doesnt have monopolynjones7569
Union dues are nothing compared to the union pension fund. Dues are collected from members. Pension fund is funded by both the employee and employer.
Short anwser yes
Scrap union time! Prices will decline.
Hopefully next they put an end to the times you can purchase it.
LCBO is not the problem the problem is the greedy union representing the hard working employees
private unions greddy
the 2.5 billion the LCBO union claims they provide to healthcare is almost entirely in the form of taxes that any other business has to pay as well.
You buy a $100 item from Walmart or Amazon then you just contributed $8 to healthcare in Ontario.
2.5 billing to galen
Ontario's health care budget is around $ 50 billion + education budget is $28.6 billion (based on google). $2.5billion? Um...... you guys figure it out.
@@Adrian802 you want more money to galen
Yes ford lets close the science centre then LCBO whats next.
Royal Ontario Museum.
I heard it was for safety the roof is damaged, I heard corner stores selling it liquor helping small businesses and communities not government, Mr. Ford definitely has my vote, I will never vote for the liberal, ndp party provincial or federal tax tax tax I love Canada ❤️ 🇨🇦
@@donnarocha4043 i guess u didnt hear how people wanted to pay to fix the science centre and ford still said no, stop being dumb donna, ford wants to close the science centre so his friend can build a parking lot
How does selling alcohol in convenience stores help the community? What's the difference between ma and pop store and convenience stores? Same thing right? No ma and pa stores can afford to put alcohol in their stores, have to renovate for space. Conservatives in Ontario are out, anyone else is in!
Two things that have long been overdue to close
Lcbo worker should be making minimum wage. Not skilled labour
So whag your point?
@guythompson5021 what do you do for a living sir?
@@eugenewilliampruski3755 he's a troll he's been replying to almost every comment..
Alberta got rid of Liquor stores years ago best thing they ever did it’s all privatize We now have more access and better service
but sameprices notcheaper
@@junkfoodguy Yes it is cheaper it creates competition
@@peterbutz642 not true
Yeah not true, actually Alberta is more expensive than Ontario for most products
Na na na na, na na na na LCBO good bye.❤
Say hello loblaws liquor store
I love the experience at the LCBO, I don't see what's wrong with having one store selling alcohol. They're LCBOs everywhere and they stay open relatively late and they have lots of variety. I went to a supermarket looking for wine today because the LCBO is closed and I couldn't find what I was looking. A lot of cheap no brand wines
LCBO will still exist when these clowns stop protesting. Didn't you see their initial argument was that if Ford privatize alcohol sales it's going to make LCBO workers lose job security?
He want all-out to gdlen
If you buy anything from anyone you're helping the people that work at that location. It's the exact same logic the only difference is is that competition can drive prices down instead of the Monopoly keeping prices over inflated. Ontario is about the only province in Canada that is ripping everybody off on liquor sales
Other than Newfoundland, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, British Columbia etc etc. They all have monopolies when it comes to liquor sales.
The cost of alcohol will stay the same, just the profits will go into the CEO pockets instead of Ontarians or workers. Why can't these great educated politicians come up with other ideas to generate funds for their lobby buddies?
Why can canibus be sold be in private retail outlets but alcohol can't? The LCBO is a dinosaur!
still goverment owned
@@junkfoodguy no they are not. They are a majority privately owned.
@@samg8012 loblaws profits?just like maople private healhcare?
@@samg8012post up loblaws profits
Why is the government involved with the liquor industry get out and just collect taxes
Time for the LCBO workers to start retraining for a different job. They won't get union pay working at Tim Hortons. The LCBO is an outdated elephant.
I think LCBO employees are going to win this fight because they sacrificed their lives during covid 19 for the general public of Ontario and a majority of the public are supporting them everyday
@cameronpardy1793 my goodness, you make it sound like they cured caner. They just stayed open to work and get paid. They did not save Canada and they are outdated. Plus if a event like Covid strikes again they won't have to worry about saving the planet.
@@user-xd7ui1wf8hyou wem depend gslen weston right guy takeover you want ghst happen
Where am i going to buy my Ripple?
End the monopoly.. privatize alcohol retail..
The government makes revenue on the tax dollars from sales. By closing the lcbo, they will make similar or more money, without paying wages or benefits for the workers.
Ontario needs to accept Margret Thatcher as it's lord and saviour, PRIVATIZE IT.
LCBO doesn`t want competition, they want to keep prices high, the Government can close the LCBO and privatize them if they want to, the union will start feeling the heat after 2 weeks, no money in they`re pockets.
you want loblaws takeover?
They can try too...there's a reason it has been around for almost 100 years and will be for years to come.
@@cameronpardy1793 Most provinces are privatize now, it works for them, time Ontario gets into that market.

What kind monopoly is Costco making

galen?
alcohol is not a biological necessity for life.
it's discretionary spending of a consumer item.
as such, it should be regulated and taxed by government,
but it should not be involved in the economic transactions between buyers and sellers.
Many years ago, Alberta decided it would be a good idea to privatize liquor sales. Immediately, the prices went up and the worker's wages went down. It improved nothing whatsoever.
That’s not true, it greatly improved customer convenience. Most people have stores within walking distance. When I lived in Ontario most people drive to the LCBO. Alberta’s system should be the template.
@@Rick-C-117how not true?look up price for whiskey vs ontario bet ir ghe same prices
@@junkfoodguy you said it improved nothing whatsoever. I said it improved convenience, which is true.

1:33-- "we need to talk about what choices we want as Ontarians."
Seems Ontarians don't want a monopoly on liquor and to be able to buy it in private stores like pretty much every where else in North America. Only you union members seem to want the LCBO. So gives us the choices we want not what you are holding us hostage too.
And why is my purchase of alcohol funding healthcare. We pay a fortune in taxes that is meant to go to healthcare. If I buy groceries does my purchase of meat, fruits etc fund healthcare? No (expect taxes on those groceries but taxes will also still be on liquor no matter where it is sold). So how about not pi$$ing our tax money away on garbage and spend in on what it is intended for like healthcare instead of relying on the LCBO.
what choices loblaw?
@@junkfoodguy no....other stores like other provinces and the US does.
@@pacman3556 we all know doug and galen have deal inplace.just like galen health care cappmaple!
I don’t support lcbo in anyway or their monopoly
😮Ooh it's not a good idea at all cause I didn't know it was going to affect the union so Im against the 1 idea the Doud get off my lawn Ford had now👎
Monopoly ends now. Ontario has paid enough for poor service and expensive leases

Or how about we just make every single business that sells anything government run. That way every single dollar will supposedly go directly to healthcare and education. Although this lady left out one expense and that is Ontario's debt and paying the interest rate for that debt because that's why a lot of the money that we get taxed for goes towards. Debt
Definitely time to branch out
Labor has cornered the market and now holding liquor hostage
You rstbwt sole source contract that will straight to galen ND grocery store's

@@junkfoodguy As compared to what? The city of Toronto gets tax money and they are currently more concerned about changing the name of Ryerson because people get triggered by a name. The province already receives buckets full of money from the LCBO yet there are still hospital closures in Ontario. The government clearly is incapable of running things properly and your solution is to give them more money? At least Weston provides things people want...changing the name of Ryerson helps no one.
End the monopoly

Meh, don't care....
