Privatizing the distribution end would be blatantly corrupt. Why give the profits to a private corporation when we can keep it a crown coporation with decent jobs and the profits funneled back into the province?<br /><br />On a side note, both Alberta and Mantiboa have their campaign contributions registry online, adn The Beer Store has contributed in both those Provinces as well. I'm too lazy to cite numbers, but I found it pretty quickly by Googling "Alberta Election Contributions". I don't think this is conspiracy, but it does show how the big brewers try to maintain control of the market through political influence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
