First of all, some people think we are country bumpkin's or rednecks, but actually we live in the centre of the known universe for we are the only time zone that does not ever change. That's right, we do not partake in that high falootin' daylight saving's time thang. We are daylight burners not savers. I don't know why it is that way, and personally I like it. This time of year it gets dusky at about 9:30 and you have to wait until 10:30pm for darkness. With daylight savings time you would have to wait until 11:30pm ish for a good dark bonfire hotdog roast. We've got the right idea here in Saskatchewan.
Secondly, and this point is related to the topic of the post, we have government regulated liquor sales. What this means in layman's terms is that the g-man sells the beer or says who, when, where, and what is sold. Products containing alchohol are only sold in government run Liqour Stores. In a way prohibition had a tiny bit of stickiness here I guess? I think it's just another way to collect more taxes. When I was in France, I bought wine at a convenience store for 2.50 euros from the Chateauneuf du Pape region (that's about 4 bucks). It was so good it was tempting to get a job waiting tables, sleep on the beach and live on wine and bagettes for the rest of my life. I did come home. Maybe the bitterness came when the clocks had to be changed.
So for all the broken, depressed, Canucks fans out there I offer this consolation from Bob Ducca.
Vancouver you have the ultimate FREEDOM!!!!
