The Supreme Court’s decision this week in the “Free the Beer” case could drive you to drink. The Supreme Court’s ruling, released Thursday, sided with New Brunswick and upheld the province’s liquor importation restrictions. And this was the Supreme Court ruling, so we’re stuck with this disgraceful policy. But it’s a failure of our political leaders that such a vital question was forced to go to a Supreme Court where outré decisions are becoming orthodoxy. But until and unless a popular movement pushes our premiers into acting like Canadians first, this week’s Supreme Court ruling, as frustrating as it is, is simply a confirmation of the reality of economic life in the Canadian federation.
