Monopolizing Wine

"Does the SAQ, Quebec’s state liquor monopoly, fulfill its role? Are consumers better served by this model? Does the SAQ offer Quebecers as many choices of wines as it claims, or do we have an illusion of diversity?"
Er, to anyone who has travelled this is a big "duh." Quebec's SAQ monopoly is pure bull shit. And if you see nothing wrong with it then you're an idiot.

Thank you. God bless.

Seriously. The breadth of choice in the USA can't be compared to what we have here. Not only that, the access to original, creative, small-estate wines too. Not only that, private Quebec wine producers get screwed over royally thanks to the expensive, time-consuming bureaucratic process.

For the life of me, I don't understand how we can accept or even tolerate the government monopolizing wine. Nothing gets in or out without their consent. We don't accept the mafia running rackets so why should the government? What's the god dang benefit, anyway? Is it for the children? The greater good?

C'man. Wake up.
