The Ford government is about to change booze retailing in Ontario. Billions of dollars are at stake. (www.cbc.ca)

Exploiting addiction is not sustainable for those who are exploited.

So you are in favour of making it available in more places

But are trying some weird anti-alcohol high road

I'm not in favour of making it available in more places. I just think that government involvement in things like alcohol, pot, gambling and other common human addictions should be revenue neutral, so there are not perverse incentives for the state to exploit the minority of humans that have extreme addiction problems.

There is nothing weird about opposing human suffering.
