If the Beer Store wants to win hearts and minds in their battle with Premier Doug Ford, they could start by telling us the truth.
The privately-owned Beer Store launched an ad campaign against the Ontario government’s apparent plan to put beer in corner stores.
(Frankly I don’t feel strongly about beer in corner stores- but I DO FEEL VERY STRONGLY about the greed of our civil service union HOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The face of the campaign is renowned curler and Beer Store manager Glen Howard who says in the campaign’s radio ad: “There has been a lot of talk lately about putting beer in corner stores, but not enough facts about what that will mean.”
The fight has to do with whether the government will legalize the sale of beer in convenience stores, breaking the total control the Beer Store shares with the LCBO over sales.
Howard begins to lay out the “facts” saying: “The fact that 7,000 Beer Store employees could be out of a job.”
That’s a lot of jobs to lose. How many employees does the Beer Store have?
The latest number I could find puts it at 7,356.
Is the Beer Store saying that if beer shows up in our convenience stores, they will go completely out of business?
(Sure looks like EXACTLY such fear mongering is being promoted here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
That isn’t a fact Glen Howard, it is either irresponsible rhetoric designed to get Ontarians to fear job losses caused by Premier Doug Ford or it is a stunning admission by the Beer Store that they cannot compete outside a government-mandated closed system.
(Civil service union HOGS sincerely believe they are ENTITLED to own a MONOPOLY! I have said in the past that if govt gave parents school vouchers so they could send their kids to any school of their choice- the number of kids who would be immediately be taken out of the public system - and sent to a private school with greater discipline and more teacher supervision and higher academic standards - WOULD BE HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Our parents mainly prefer the private school system where discipline is higher and education is more orderly and effective!! The private schools focus on pleasing parents while public schools focus on pleasing civil service union HOGS- with unpleasant results for both kids and parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The Beer Store touts its beer delivery system as the only thing that keeps beer from getting even more expensive than it is in Ontario, as if the private sector doesn’t have exceptional delivery systems and practices to employ to get beer from the brewery to the store.
(Hogs grasp at straws when union bully tactics fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Howard continues laying out the Beer Store’s case: “The fact that beer prices will be higher.”
(Not necessarily!! After all- corner store operators DO NOT pay HOG Pay rates!!!!! Hogs want to pretend that their expenses are somehow LOWER - without explaining how LAZY employees of a MONOPOLY GET!!)
Well, in some cases that is undoubtedly true. But prices on everything are higher in convenience stores. We pay for convenience. It would be up to the Beer Store to convince us that it would be worth going to them for beer instead.
(What?? Make ENTITLED HOGS COMPETE for our biz?? When did that REVOLUTION happen?????????????????????????????????)
(And of course we have only to look at Marijuana sales for inspiration!!!
Weed sales by your local dealer HAVE NOT gon down for the simple reason the “private” dealers offer greater convenience - since they keep longer hours and have a better price because they are not paying for a large retail setup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Overall, history teaches us that absent government interference, competition lowers prices, not the opposite.
Milk is available in convenience stores, as are bread and eggs. Grocery stores thrive. (Loblaw’s and Wal-Mart have excellent delivery systems.)
What else did Glen Howard call a fact? “The fact that minors will likely have easier access to beer.”
The Ontario Convenience Stores Association commissioned an independent test using underage secret shoppers (age 15-18) by Statopex Field Marketing which reported: “Convenience stores scored the best age-check pass rate with an 87.3% success rate. The Beer Store was next with 80.7% and LCBO last with 74.6% — meaning one in four minors successfully purchased age-restricted products from LCBO, and one in five from The Beer Store — compared to one in eight for convenience stores.”
(OH dear!! How will LIE-berals respond to such facts?? IGNORING truth and logic are favorite LIE-beral tactics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
When questioned about those actual facts by Jim Richards on NEWSTALK1010 radio, Howard chose to say that he didn’t believe it.
He insisted that the Beer Store does a terrific job keeping beer from minors, but he offered no competing research.
(LIE-berals believe it is UNFAIR to be logical with them!! They are ENTITLED to their own “Truth”!! LIE-berals believe we are all equally entitled to speak- thus they feel entitled to spew Fake News and have it accepted with the same respect as actual FACTS AND RESEARCH!! LIE-bersls are so entitled they believe their wishful thinking ought to be satisfactory for public consumption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(In related news- Toronto Sun reporters conducted an experiment in which they dressed a 14 year old white boy in a full length Burqa that completely HID his face and body and sent him off to buy alcohol from various LCBO`s- and NOBODY QUESTIONED the kid!! Being dressed as a Muslim woman was the “get out of jaul free card”!! Even though it ought to be public knowledge that Muslims are FORBIDDEN to drink alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
He had an opinion, as the public face of the anti-competition movement from the Beer Store, not facts. Should we just believe him?
In this case, I am sorry Glen Howard, the truth has left the rink.
(The truth - as always- is whatever LIE-berals deem best............... for THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
