10:00am- Cam Linwood, Development Co-ordinator with Grand River Conservation Foundation, Re: With temperatures staying above the freezing mark over the next few days some localized flooding could happen across parts of the watershed. The Grand River Conservation Authority says they’ll be watching and monitoring waterways the low lying areas along the Nith River and Grand River that are expected to be the hardest hit.
10:30am- Mark Milke, Senior Fellow at The Fraser Institute, Re: It’s been two decades since the Alberta government exited the business of selling beer, wine and spirits to consumers. The privatization of all government liquor stores (completed in 1994) led to a dramatic expansion in the number of private sector liquor outlets in Alberta, vastly improved product selection, better customer service, and price-competition while creating thousands of new jobs. Unsurprisingly, liquor monopolists in other provinces criticize Alberta’s liquor privatization. The latest convenient critic is Ted Moroz, president of the Ontario-based The Beer Store, which has a near monopoly on private sector beer sales in the province.
