Canada's weird liquor laws

Radio host Terry David Mulligan’s decision to stroll across the B.C. border to Alberta with a case of wine today was meant to draw attention to an old, and in his mind, outdated law governing alcohol in this country.

The B.C. radio host's beef is with Canada’s Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act, a 1928 law that states “no person shall import, send, take or transport, or cause to be imported, sent, taken or transported, into any province from or out of any place within or outside Canada any intoxicating liquor.”

The only way you can legally move a bottle of wine from one province to another — or from another country into Canada — is with the permission of the provincial liquor control board. Mulligan contends that this is an inconvenience to consumers and a hindrance to winemakers hoping to expand their customer base.

Because the provinces make their own laws, there are discrepancies from region to region.

Quebec, for example, has always taken a more laissez-faire attitude to alcohol. It was the only jurisdiction in Canada or the U.S. that did not impose complete Prohibition and it remains more relaxed on two key issues. The first is the age of consent — in Quebec (as well as in Manitoba and Alberta), the legal drinking age is 18. The other is the general availability of booze.

wie immer - die kommentare sind interessant.

Hab ich mich also strafbar gemacht, als ich mit meinem Camper von Quebec nach New Brunswick gefahren bin, während dort ein paar Flaschen Bier im Kühlschrank waren?! Ups!
Sagt einem ja auch keiner mal!
