Canada/EU free for all............................................... ........

[Nuggler]

Interesting quote from the great mother news works:

When CETA comes into force, Canadians will pay less for items including food, wines and spirits, and even high-end European cars — if retailers and European manufacturers pass on the savings from the elimination of tariffs.""


Well, fukk, folks, of course they will. You've heard of trickle down.

When in recorded memory has the great corporate hand out machine failed to pass on savings ??

I laughed so hard something's trickling down my leg.

Price of booze dropped way down when the AB gvt privatized retail liqour operations.

Yes & No

Liquor privatization: Did Albertans get what was promised?

You guys realize booze up there is taxed heavily which is why it is so expensive.

Yes but after you slam back a few it becomes less of an issue.

Oh yeah- and in AB the private stores have a profit of 22 to 50 % - approx.per sale
A substantial majority of the so called private outlet in AB are owned by 1 or 2 companies.

Profits of 40% or more are pretty standard, you have to realize that is gross profit and after all expenses are paid then your net profit gets taxed.

Not just that, we make so much fricken dough here it doesn't matter.

Gross profit varies by industry. From what I recall an example would be the grocery industry with a profit margin of appox. 4 % in Canada.
The grocery wars have been ongoing the past few years, companies expansion of 3.5 sq ft compared to 1.5 % increase in population.
That can only go on so long.

And a big + for Alta. But they ain't Europe. Just making the point that the only thing usually runs downhill is shlt.

I could care less if Ont. beer, wine, and spirits are privatized or not. Don't drink enough for it to matter.

We all know people would rather work for a corner store than a place that pays a living wage and has benefits.

Next Ont. erection, and the Libs will be out and the Cons in. Can hardly wait.

Carry on Capt. Your posts are usually erudite, succinct, and to the point.

No sh*t Sherlock. Booze aint' the half of it. But, if you want good health care and education, someone has to pay.

Perhaps that's what gets Canuks extremely pissed when they see Wallin, Duffy, et al doing their phoney expense things.

We seem to care more about people and have an innate sense of fair play....................................mehhhhh, bye and large.

EEEEEEEEEEhaw.........................:lol:

Selection is through the roof in AB Goobs... And if you have any question regarding the costs, take a short trip into BC and compare prices at the Provincially run stores... It's a huge difference

... And those costs only increase if you rely on the gvt to act as retailer as well
