“Opening up interprovincial trade of alcohol would have a very detrimental effect on the breweries that are here in Newfoundland and Labrador,” Mr. Farrell said in an interview Friday. “There’s no upside. You’d flood the market with trucked-in beer.”

    They’re coming from larger markets, so already have a larger sales base, large income flow, and reduced costs from producing at a larger scale.

    Y’all come from large provinces, don’t ya? Because none of you are talking like you’ve ever seen a bigger neighbour wipe out your local industry. Or paidnany attention while Walmart and Amazon decimated things.

      Hm, maybe I had a different idea of what “medium” meant. I thought it was referring to brewers that had smaller production than Molson.

      Not sure what I said pressed your buttons, I just wanted to make sense of how a medium company would have an advantage against a bigger company in terms of logistic costs.
