There was a website a few years back that posted the prices of Brewers Retail (aka The Beer Store, single buyer of beer in Ontario) in a nicer, spreadsheet like format where you could sort by total price, price per mL, price per case size, etc etc (can’t recall the name of it at the moment). It was great. And transparent, and just data.

And were shut down by a threat of a lawsuit. Apparently you can’t do that in Canada. They had some stupid fine print that said the data was theirs and you can’t use it.

And I seem to recall similar fine print in grocery flyers.

As is the will of people, since Canada is a democracy, and that's what democracies do. Not like those terrible communist governments. Everyone should well know what they do (and how your friendly local neighborhood democracy is so much better, you see), you can read about it in your newspaper quite literally every single day for the last several years/decades.

Threads like these are diamonds in the rough, I love collecting them.
