BC's Solicitor General and Minister of Public Safety, Shirley Bond, announced the other day that the province is considering changes to its laws governing the sale of liquor in movie theatres. Cases like this one show why changing these laws would be a good idea.
Meanwhile, Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas' private member's bill to amend the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act, which currently makes it illegal to transport liquor across provincial lines without the consent of each province's liquor board, still doesn't seem to have moved past the Standing Committee of Finance. BC NDP leader Adrian Dix has shown support for Albas' bill.

Freedom at last! Almost makes me want to go to a movie theater, drink 5 or 6 beers, then drive home. JUST KIDDING.
How about BC get out of the liquor retailing business altogether? It offends me to pay inflated prices supporting overpaid liquor store management and staff.
Let's have a look one Province east of here to see how this should be done with NO loss to the Provincial treasury and better service and prices to the customer.
I'm sure our union bought and paid for Premier will be right on that one.
