Schools, hospitals, kids, seniors
The LDB is a profitable distribution and retail entity that we all own. And the profits play a vital role in paying for the services that we all need and use.
All benefit from $890 million in net income
It's not a small number. Over the last five years the LDB has produced $4.3 Billion in provincial income. That's a lot of money to help fund the services this province needs.
From public liquor distribution
Ask yourself, do you want those profits to go to big companies or do you want them to flow through an agency we all own to help a place where we all live?
But the BC Government is trying to sell it off
Without any public consultation, without any business case and with a troubling lack of foresight the provincial government is rushing to sell off public liquor distribution.
For ever
Once public liquor distribution is gone, it's gone forever. One sell-off at the expense of a revenue source that was built to last for generations.
