    This is the first article I’ve seen mention that the plan for interprovincial liquor sales is about direct-to-consumer sales.

    It’s a good thing, but I’m not sure how transformative it would be. The cost of shipping would easily exceed the price of beer or wine. Spirits would maybe be the product category that direct-to-consumer sales would make the most sense on. But even a $50 bottle of gin would cost nearly that much to ship from BC to Ontario.

    Interesting… I was under the impression. That NFLD/LAB weren’t participating because it could hurt small local breweries, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

    I do understand the concern over job losses, especially since people are already being layed-off due to tariffs.
