Um.. Why are people talking about saving money by selling the LCBO?
It transfered 1.4 -billion- in dividends to the provincial government in 2008. TAXES NOT INCLUDED.
That is a 1.4 billion GAIN, --not-- a loss.
Here is the link, from the LCBO website itself to show that...
http://www.lcbo.com/aboutlcbo/media_centre/quick_facts.shtml
"$1.40 billion Dividend the LCBO transferred to the Government of Ontario for 2008-09 (excluding taxes)"
Do we want to make 1.4 billion less per year?
That is $122.69 less available to the provincial government per person, per year that they will need to make up in service reductions or in tax increases.
