If only he had this much initiative for our crumbling healthcare system

[MidnightRambler]

its insane these min wage workers want 50 bucks plus..just sell the damn thing

[joes]

Why is the LCBO even public? There's no reason they should be operating as a government monopoly. Many of us would love to see the alcohol industry run similarly to the marijuana industry.

[squidbeach]

He should focus on providing new initiatives, not taking away or cancelling existing services and pensions. Where can I find a family doctor? Why are there more weed dispensaries than Tim Hortons in my shift working city. Why can I find magic mushrooms for sale in my neighborhood but no transportation? Why do people hold cardboard signs in front of the local Walmart or stand outside my car while I am parallel parking downtown waiting for cash? Why is he demanding that lotto tickets be sold at LCBO? Is he just adding gambling to the mix? We can already buy wine and beer just about everywhere. Lets have Costco and grocery stores focus on food - we don't need to buy our vodka at Walmart.

[MollyMarine]

They are freaking out over wine and beer in convenience stores? Have they been to America or Europe? This seems like a strange thing to strike over

[guigram]

Governments shouldn't run any business or have any monopoly...

[rickb.]

definitely going with other options.. LCBO is a monopoly and there needs to be competition... same with the airlines in Canada.. Canada needs to bring more competition in every sector.

[jonathanr]

Too bad they couldn’t make a similar app showing family doctors currently taking new patients.
First alcohol.. Then he'll figure out healthcare and the school system..if dougie has time in between selling off Ontario's assets.

[amandarowe]

And we as tax payers paid for this!!??

[lamontcranston]

Booze increases the likelihood of robbery. To stay competitive the small business owner will be pressured to carry booze. This means the small business owner has the added expense and responsibility of security (e.g. bars on windows, surveillance cameras, alarm system, an in-store guard). In many neighborhoods, store owners will be forced to own a gun.
You want to turn clerks into cops? You want to do all this damage rather than solve a labor dispute?

[mariainspireart]

I cant wait till you all have to pay $10 bucks for a beer! Who will have the last laugh 😃 me!

[rodgergarvie]

Good on Doug. Shut the LCBO and Beer stores for Good. Waste of Tax Dollars!

[brettparnell]

It's simple why they have different messages for unions. One for those who make real money that we all want to see do better, and another message for those whose raises eat up taxpayers money

[chadinontario]

The union is fighting the government, for the union. The government who represents all taxpayers, not just those union members, is fighting for the taxpayers.

[RossMunro-mfez]

Hey Doug you should make Marco Muzzo minister promoting more places to buy booze.Doug you should be forced to attend the victims family when a drunk driver kills another innocent victim.You encouraging more drunks in Ontario.

[stephenwlodarczyk]

Is it just me or is everyone getting fed up with the governments that exist??

[henrygreenwood]

Seriously?!
Ontario has so many crisis situations. Every small town and city has a tent encampment. T.F.W. are lowering wages, and taking entry level jobs from kids that are born here, and can't afford to live. Infrastructure failures due to massive population increases. Inflation, cost of living, small business going under, health care services deteriorating.
You go on about how your premier cant flip a burger?
Remember Ontario. You voted this guy in because you were voting the liberals out. Then the next time it was time to vote, he took all of his opponents away.
How T.F. can Ontarians sleep at night. Knowing that they let this guy into politics.
Grow T.F. up.

[Funguyforvids]

New age of negotiations!!.. lol... we dont need lcbo stores...

[lambo]

If I was one of those truck drivers being held up for 30 mins for delivery & pickups I'd be pissed 😡

[jacplanespotting]

Love Sid's commercial is either mindless entertainment, (choose an appropriate insulting phrase....)
