It’s such a disgusting waste of taxpayer dollars. Would I like to see expanded hours and locations? Absolutely, but privatizing ANOTHER Crown corporation isn’t the way to go about it. LCBO contributes something like 2.5 billion dollars to the Ontario government. I haven’t seen anything from Ford about how that revenue stream will be replaced after it gets redirected into the pockets of Circle K.
Gutting tax revenue and government services, so they can later say “see this doesn’t work/ we don’t have enough money for it” (and gut more tax revenue and government services) is a key Conservative strategy. Ford doesn’t care about Ontarians. I don’t know any conservative party right now that actually works for the working class

The purchasing power the LCBO has is crazy. So, removing that dynamic will increase prices and ruin selection.
and increase private profits
But remember it all trickles down… right… RIGHT? /s

That’s not part of his mandate. Ontario’s open for business, and we’re having a fire sale. Get it while it lasts.
