A Toast to Manitoba

The MLCC has an ad in today’s Winnipeg Free Press touting Manitoba-made beverages. I for one think it is a great idea. If we are to have our liquor sales run by a provincial agency, part of their mandate should be to actively promote locally produced items. There are many great beverages made right in our own backyard that deserve to be proudly displayed and recognized in the Liquor Marts.

So as we raise a glass or two over the next few months, let’s support some of our local entrepreneurs at the same time. Our economy will thank you for it…

It's still being produced there from what I have read...

I'll drink to that! Though I don't understand why a government monopoly has to do any advertising at all, unless they're just trying to increase alcohol use.

Gimli was picked by Crown Royal because of the Water Quality. And no , the Union didn't shut it down. Don't forget Fort garry Dark Ale.
