The attempt by LCBO workers to stop the expansion of beer, wine and canned-cocktail sales to corner stores is a little hard to figure for those who dwell in the rational world. There is absolutely no chance whatsoever that the Doug Ford government is going to go back on the expansion, which is a deal that takes effect next month.

Ford made it abundantly clear at a media availability on Wednesday that he’s not backing down on the plan. And yet, Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) president JP Hornick says this latest bit of “privatization” is where the union has drawn its “line in the sand.” Hornick went so far as to suggest that the union was “making history.”
