OPSEU ad campaign ‘shocking and offensive,’ says head of Alberta Liquor Store Association –
A nasty public-relations spat has broken out between Ontario and Alberta, with unionized government liquor-store workers on one side and a “free-wheeling” province with an overabundance of drunk drivers on the other.
Ontario’s Liberal government is considering a plan to allow liquor kiosks to open in some grocery stores around the province.
The idea has prompted a radio advertisement, put out by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, that claims Albertans shopping for booze in private stores are more than three times as likely to be drunk as shoppers at government stores in the country’s largest province.
