I was in canada once. This old lady was talking to me and I told her I was happy it was summer because i didn't have to go to school. She said "You don't like school?" and got angry.

Is this a canadian thing?

Why is the government the only business allowed to sell alcohol?

Also, can we get a Tim Horton's in the chicago area? I'd take one any day over Dunkin Donuts.

The government is not the only business allowed to sell alchohol. In Quebec, corner stores are allowed to sell it. In every other province, the government thinks they are 'protecting citizens' by using this rule. As for the Tim Hortons, maybe one day. I once worked at Tim Hortons...it sucked.

Why are Canadians so [censored] annoying?

It's a massive, nationwide, inferiority complex, but only those of us who have lived in the US for a while can admit it.

Hell, I've never lived in the US, but I'll admit it. I damn myself everytime I want some good fried chicken and realize that KFC is the only option.

in alberta there's tons of liquor stores that aren't government owned.

and obviously restaurants and bars sell it everywhere, but i guess thats not what you meant.

With the Gov't being typically liberal, any reason why they went conservative on this area and decided to attempt to control it? Also, thanks for righting me on the liquor store issue.
