If the SAQ -really- needs to be involved, then put an SAQ sales agent in charge of the retail end of the distillery. No agent, no sales. Otherwise, just liberalize it so the distilleries can sell on premises. Best-case scenario: get rid of the SAQ altogether. Australia has privately-run -bottle shops-, aka liquor stores. Since they don't allow sales in grocery stores, the bottle shop is always conveniently located a few doors down from Woolies or Coles.

Fun fact: in Canada it's illegal to import, posses, buy, sell or trade any part of a still for a purpose of making drinking alcohol without a federal license but it's completely legal to do the the same things for a purpose of producing -alternative fuel- from corn and other plant material.

Lived in Quebec for two years. It's very odd that like whenever we entered a bar as a group of english speaker, we will just talk to each other in French so others can join in, even everyone probably speak decent english anyway

Here in Ontario. we have the LCBO. they are pretty much like the SAQ. you are not allowed to make your own spirits -hard liquor- but only can purchase it from government ran establishments for 30-40%+ sales tax.

75% proof and then they say they drank 75% alcohol. ugh the cringe. I'm glad the people employed can speak cause otherwise there wouldn't be anything accurate except the guided tour with just the owner.

It sounds so funny when North Americans complain about their controlled bureaucratic economies when in Sweden our bureaucracy is even harder and, unfortunately, widely accepted and not messed with.

Hiya boys. Ontario has it worse. Our microbrew industry has been screwed for decades. Try to fetch LCBO legislation and you'll have a hard time. These are laws! Hah just silly. Great video.

Representing us french canadians, they had to pick two random guys that have stereotypical look, both sound and look like complete tools, and just overall look clueless. Great.

The same case is in Norway. I think it's a good system. There was a reason for the establishment of system. people drank to much, and the society suffered immensely.
