Sometimes I wonder if TBS is actually angling to create a new business for themselves and start up a TheCigaretteStore monopoly.

From some of the blowback I have seen to this ad and the previous propaganda, this is likely going to be a good thing. The TBS was lucky to fly under the radar for a long time with the general public assuming they were government owned. The more they open their mouths the more people learn and grow to resent them. For their sake they should fire their PR firm, for ours, they should create a massive campaign!

Does that mean that the big three are going to stop selling beer in QC? Y'know to protect the kids.

Every week this is in front of the public, awareness builds about the foreign ownership and slightly more of the public turn against The Beer Store. All the OCSA has to do is keep them dancing until the Liberal government falls.

On another note, today is the first time I've ever seen people call for a boycott of The Beer Store.

Somebody should do a parody video where a kid goes in their store to buy a coors ballcap and gets carded...

Kinda wish that some of our microbrewers could get some air time to talk about the ludicrous, self-serving cost of shelf space at TBS, or the amount of dust on cases of Iron Duke...
