Staff at the LCBO are threatening to go on strike just prior to a major holiday when folks usually fill up on all sorts of spirits. Lately, the LCBO is in the news quite a bit.

Murray, you should use this as an excuse to stock up Smile

Surely the Canadian/Ontario government must be under a lot of pressure to break up the LCBO and let private retailers take over. Surely they could still impose there high alcohol tax with private retailers selling the alcohol.

Murray this is where having a collection like yours comes in handy you don't have to worry about a strike. I see it as a form of insurance against this sort of thing. Excellent reasoning to pick up a few more bottles as James suggests!
