mr_big posted:Can anyone explain why the Beer Store is such dogshit? How has the coward Rob Ford not let the FREE MARKET take over beer sales for easy political points? well, for one thing rob ford is dead for the other thing apparently breaking the agreement with the beer store would have cost the provincial government 1 billion and that's too big a payment to private corporations for nothing for even dougie

vyelkin posted:because the platonic ideal of a laissez-faire free market is a myth and big players using their economic power to establish a state-enforced monopoly that guarantees them easy returns regardless of how dogshit their services are is the "free" market working as intended I don’t get why it wasn’t given to Canadian brewers though. Like, Molson and Labatt, sure, but why did they create a foreign monopoly?

Are we talking like trawlers and other commercial fishing vessels, boats operated under charter for well to do people going on excursions, or well to do people owning their own boat for sport fishing?

Can you rely on a crossover SUV to empower your every adventure? Yes you can. Because in the all-new Honda CR-V, endless possibilities come standard. Peace of mind is key in the CR-V. That's why it's soecially engineered so you can brace the elements with confidence. Whether you're weekday commuting or weekend cruising, the CR-V takes you in style.

A used car with normal gas mileage probably the most environmentally friendly vehicle you can purchase... gently caress the green party.

I got some boxes from Dollarama around Christmas for distributing cookies and they had a horrible chemical smell like a new car/PVC outgassing. I don't know what possible use they could have had besides storing even worse-smelling toxic garbage.

Roof rack for the boats. Sorry, kayaks. Rear facing child seat can fit in the middle of the rear bench without interfering with the front seats.
