No choice, rip-off prices at LCBO

In the socialist republic of Ontario there is a provincial liquor monopoly. Labbé François Cassis, $18.80, the only choice for this liqueur on Dundas Street. A French convenience store would offer a choice of brands at a range of prices far better than this. Gouging customers with restricted choice is the order of the day here. So take-it-or-leave-it and pay top dollar.
