A former ombudsman at one of Canada’s big banks has been tapped to investigate complaints of a far more frothy nature: beer.

Mr. Dougall, I have a complaint about your company’s beer. Ever since I started drinking it regularly, I’ve had all kinds of problems with my wife . . . .

The Beer Store is a typically Canadian socialist government bureaucracy

Used to make beer runs back in the day when it was known as the Brewer's Retail. It was a little more expensive, but the beer was better than most of what could be found in U.S. stores.
