Thanks you LCBO for looking out for me. Glad you allow those "safe" forty ounce bottles of malt liquor to be available, but ensure that those dangerous Cantillon products stay out.
Seling Only safe, High-Quality Products
The LCBO's Quality Assurance Laboratory ensures that safe, high-quality beverage alcohol products are made available to coustomers. The laboratory is ISO certified, which means it meets the highest international standards. All products sold by the LCBO and Beer Stores are chemically tested to comply with both federal and provincial standards. In 2001, our lab conducted over 315,000 test on more than 13,000 different samples.
Illegal Alcohol: Not a Victimless Crime
The LCBO teams with other law enforcement and government organizations to help raise awareness that illegal alcohol is not a victimless crime. People who buy untested illegal alcohol are playing Russian roulette with their health. Seized products have been found to contain carcinogens, toxins and poisons. Bootleg alcohol is also accessible to those who should not have it--minors and intoxicated people--putting others at risk from drunk driving and other dangerous situations.
Ontario taxpayers also lose, as an important source of government revenue that could be spend on social and health porgrams goes instead to criminals. We estimated in 2001 that $432 mill or about six per cent of the annual $7.5 billion provincial beverage alcohol market was lost to the underground economy.
The conflations of arguments in the second paragraph is infuriating. Non-tested/Bootleg alcohol is more accessible to minors--never had a problem getting "legitimate" alcohol when I was a monor or intoxicated-- which in turn leads to more drunk driving. Are there studies that show that the "legitimacy" of the alcohol equates directly to whether or nor a person will drive while intoxicated. By that logic, most drunks on the road are intoxicated minors, therefore why even bother to pull us adults over.
Then there is the chicken and egg argument of the last paragraph. The only bootleg alcohol I've consumed, hypothetically, that is, has been because there is no legal & cost effective mechanism to bring in small amounts (i.e., a keg for sale in a bar or tavern), or the labelling is unacceptable.
If the LCBO was serious about their responsibility, they would get rid of the stacks of malt liquors and malternatives on their shelves. And, there is such a contradiction between their "repsonsibility" and there objective to maximize profits on a sales per square foot basis.
ARGH!
For the life of me, I don't see anything in my post that could be construed as Union bashing, not that there's anything wrong with that.
