Typical #DougFord. I swear he's a shit at everything as #Trump.
The LCBO and Beer Store systems were working _perfectly_.. and making the province gobs of cash, AND reusing/diverting all that waste.
Already shuttered LCBO and TBS locations because of other retailers and now your recycling infra is hamstrung. Like how did noone see this coming its so _obvious_. Like running a casino into the ground how do you DO that?
@robertbenzie: From the front page of the @TorontoStar, @MoiraWelsh on how Ontario’s five biggest grocery chains are threatening to stop selling beer and wine unless Premier Doug Ford changes deposit-return rules. #onpoli … https://twitter.com/robertbenzie/status/1953788323371069453
That's hilarious. So apparently, retailers that sell booze in #Ontario weren't told until recently that they have to accept, process, and recycle empties as #TheBeerStore does. Which erodes the entire $ case for selling #booze. And if The Beer Store sees a hit in sales but no reduction in empties, they're not gonna stand for it either (and they have clout).
Yet another well thought out #legislation in #Canada's biggest most corrupt-est province. #DougFordIsACriminal
Ontario grocery stores — particularly smaller, independent shops — say new bottle return requirements that were sprung on them a week before they're set to take effect may make it impossible to participate in Premier Doug Ford's expansion of alcohol sales.
