They've had what, 3 strikes in the last 30 years. Have you ever considered that the reason you have no credibility is that you have to exaggerate to a ridiculous extreme in order to try and make your points. Try toning it down a little.

Purolator is owned by Canada Post.
How do courier rates compare to those of Postal Services? Not everyone has the funds to pay for a competitor ... yet gripe about the Government doing it

On Dec. 1, 1993, Canada Post Corporation purchased a 75% interest in Purolator. In January 1999, Canada Post Corporation purchased an additional interest in Purolator from Onex, increasing its ownership in Purolator to 95.81%. Today, Canada Post Corporation owns 94% of Purolator.
It's like shootin' fish in a barrel.
I get the impression it's more like: Be contradictory. Bad attention is better than none at all.
I work for a Transport company, and my experience is exactly the
opposite here. Truckers are the connoisseur's of discount booze.
With many things (price wise), it's a toss up between Duty Free
at the border, or picking it up in Alberta when it comes to booze.
As far as selection goes, I'm in Saskatchewan with a non-privatized
Provincial Liquor Board, and the selection in Alberta (hands down)
is greater than in my own home province several times over....
"In Alberta when the province privatized the liquor and beer stores the prices increased dramatically and the selection of products decreased."- Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Could just result in fewer drunks becoming problematic and creating less mayhem, fewer cars smashed up and a lighter load on the E.R.
A hard core is going to come up with the price no matter what ... just like dope. Businessfolk count on angry apathy.
Probably, but with booze I don't think it's the "hard core" that causes most of the damage, the hard core surprisingly seem to be better at handling it than the more typical problematic drinkers, like guys who have a problem, but work and support families etc. but once in a while go off the deep end, because they can't handle booze like the hard core who toddles off to the liquor store at opening time and then just sits at home and gets hammered until he/she passes out.
Yup, we have things like specialty wine stores now and far more competition and choice. One of the best things the Alberta government did.
