L'etat C'est Nous

The SAQ (the mafia-like outfit that regulates alcohol in the province of Quebec. The amount of departments ending with "Q" in this province is astounding. How can it not be called a socialist state?) wants to intervene and impose a minimum drink prices in a misguided attempt to reduce excessive alcohol consumption. The measure already exists in the rest of Communist Canada.

As usual, whenever stupid government ideas are tabled, it's always the wrong people who end up paying. Notably the law abiding and a dwindling segment of the population that still assumes personal responsibility. Yes, we're going the way of the Dodo bird.

This won't solve squat. The only way to deal with this is at the grass roots level and do your best to teach your kids of the evils of being a sot in public.

It never ends. If you need an explanation as to why this is ridiculous then you really don't deserve liberty.

What's next? A minimum on soda consumption? You know, because sugar kills and leads to diabetes. Where does it end? Should I call the government and ask them if I should have extra pepperoni on my pizza?

Qui bono?
