| 151 | Steven Treiber | it's about time. that a private company could have a monopoly on such a valuable service has always irked me, but when that company is owned by foreign companies I am outraged. |

| 154 | Brad LaFlamme | You know there is a problem when you can buy imported Canadian beer in the USA for 1/2 the price it costs us here at home even after the exchange! |
| 155 | Ralph Campbell | The present system is just wrong. |

| 166 | Russell anthony | The people of Ontario demand that the Ontario Government allow beer to be sold and distributed through existing and |
| 167 | Grant Padley | This has to stop. We pay 25% more for the same product in Ontario as in other provinces. It's a monopoly plain and simple. How Molson and InBev get away with this is beyond reason. |

| 169 | Hamish Johnston | While I agree that the Brewer's Retail should be scrapped, be careful what you wish for.
If all other things remain equal, I'm guessing that privatization would boost the price of beer. The reason being that the Beer Store has an extremely efficient distribution network - namely its customers, who often have to drive miles to buy beer.
The extra cost of getting the product to thousands of corner stores and supermarkets (instead of hundreds of Beer Stores) would have to be paid by someone - and taxes, which already comprise the bulk of the cost of beer would remain the same. |

| 171 | Michael McPherson | The sky hasn't fallen in Quebec or New York state. Indeed, in New York the drinking age is 21 and corner stores distribute the beer responsibly. It's time to end the Beer Store monopoly. |

| 173 | Verne Pritchard | Foreign owned......Great just like the 407. Did not know that one. |

| 179 | Philliip McDowell | The craft brewery movement in the United States has exploded in the past decade and has given an unique culture to regions who produce them. This has been halted in Canada, not just Ontario, due to the Beer Store. Also the $2.5Billion dollars is going into large forign owned corporations instead of Ontario brewers. It's time to put the money back into Ontario. |
| 180 | Michel Gravel | I fully support your initiative and will help any way I can. There are way too many monopoly of all sorts in Ontario. It's time for it's habitant to open their eyes.

| 188 | Stan Schurman | Let's get rid of this anachronistic, paternalistic monopoly. The notion that selling beer and wine in corner stores is somehow dangerous is a red herring. It has been done successfully in Quebec and in the U.S. for decades. |
