53 David GovanThe Ontario Government needs to stop hiding behind their present stance and allow the people and market conditions to decide what is best for the citizens of Ontario. Allowing foreign corporations to dictate how, where, when, and what brands are sold to us is simply rediculous and an insult to the people of Ontario and especially to CANADIAN beer companies. In typical liberal fashion, the present government is interested in only two things: the money they generate from taxes on beer sales, and to continually babysit the citizens of Ontario who they feel are much too immature and fool hardy to control their drinking without government intervention (read control).
54 Martin WinterProhibition proved, back in the 1920's, that morality cannot be legislated. It's time to treat the adults in Ontario as adults.

62 Wes Ryana overhaul of our beer and wine distribution regulations is long overdue. give small brewers a chance to compete and consumers an opportunity to discover diverse products...remove the existing system and let freedom flow.
63 Geoff TaylorLevel the playing field for Canadian brewers.
64 Andy HullOnline petitions are useless, please make a REAL petition for this cause so something might actually be done about it. This will not sway any politician.
65 Paul SynnottWhile you're at it, end the LCBO monopoly as well.

69 Lino NatoliAll breweries to represent themselves to the public and I should be able to buy beers from a small place in Kingston as readily as a small place in Waterloo because demand warrants it not because a couple of companies decide they do not want to allow it.

72 AnonymousPut an end to government approved price fixing. It's anti-democratic.
73 Dean HillThe monopoly over beer sales in Ontario needs to end. Beer should be available for sale in convenience and grocery stores as in Quebec.
74 AnonymousAlso the minimum$24.00 price tag should be removed, in the US you can still buy Canadian beer at less than $15.00 per case.

76 David MaheshGood start Derek!
77 Bill PettersenIf food stores and grocery stores are going to sell beer, they should be required to do as thorough a job at controlling underage access as the Beer Store does. Currently, they do an abysmal job with tobacco. I don't have a problem with breaking up a monopoly, but only if adequate controls are in place for ALL players in the game.
78 Deryck WiddicombeJust throw another cap in the bottlle with my name
79 G. RumsbyFree enterprise should exist
80 AnonymousThe beer monopoly is a silly remnant of a government knows best system. It punishes small brewers, drives up the price of beer, and puts the government in the conflicted position of both marketing alcohol and controlling its distribution. We sell cigarettes in corner stores but not beer. Dumb.
81 Paul GaggiLets move into the 21st century and quit treating adults like children.
82 Ken WrightI agree totally. As a former Quebecer I can attest to the fact that it is much more convenient to have grocery stores selling wine and beer and there are no problems with minors being sold these products.
83 Eric Buttrum
84 Dan ScheunemanThe time is right to break this monopoly. As a taxpaying citizen of Ontario, I ask the government to heed this petition.
