[S-Man]

Ah yes, our 1927-vintage liquor laws. Untouchable, unable to ever be liberalized, no matter what stripe of government is in power.

The province can talk a great game about entrepreneurship and the need for jobs and revenue (we spent $11 billion on debt interest ever year, and rising), but heaven forbid we touch our prohibition-era laws.

Kids will die and society will collapse overnight - it will be like shadows, only many times worse!

We bitch and moan, but when only 13% of residents believe (still, after 87 years) that the Beer Store ISN'T publically owned, what are we to do? We live in a province where the status quo is kept in force by myths that we celebrate.

It's kid of like a children's fable, only more depressing.
