After viewing the scene I thought: why should Canadians have to go to a special store to buy beer? Please explain the logic to me.
The logic is canada is a socialist country. It’s not like my friend from TN who also told me in his state, people cross state borders to buy booze, and canadians do the same into the US. Not only do we “pretend’ to buy gas and eggs (which is the most normal excuse)but we also pay cash for the booze so when returning back, the idiot canuck border guard will not make an inspection of the receipt.
Did I also tell you that it’s illegal in canada to buy car insurance outside of the govt too? Yeah, it’s a monopoly.
Montgomery County in Maryland, the premier DC bedroom suburb controls all alcholic beverage sales. Restaurants have to buy from the county which is a totally inept operation. Complaints about not be able to reliable get craft beers and specific wines are numerous. The county gets IIRC about $33 million in revenues.
