I suspect most of the stolen alcohol gets into local bars and restaurants in exchange for cash.

Nope. I worked the restaurant/bar industry for over a decade. No bar is going to risk losing their liquor license selling stolen booze. It's not worth it. The stolen booze gets shipped to the Arab world, where alcohol is 100 % banned in most places. People over there pay huge sums money for black market booze.

Liquor tax rates were slashed this week. Here’s how your receipt could change
Cuts to the Liquor Tax Act came into effect Thursday, cutting the tax rates on Ontario spirits by half, accompanied by lower taxes on local beer from microbrewersI just read this article in the Toronto Star. Taxes on alcohol slashed by half! This seems like a big deal, but I haven't seen any changes in prices at the Beer Store or LCBO (it came into effect on Thursday).
Does anyone know when the prices expected to go down? Considering most of the price of alcohol is taxes this should result in considerable savings.

I wonder if Laker and James Ready are considered "microbrewers"? Those are the brands that I drink

Nope.
Laker is made by Waterloo which is considered one of the big guys now.
And James Ready is a Mooshead product, same thing.
For a list of whose who according to the Ontario government, follow this link:

Yay Henderson is on there! Great Toronto brewery.
Also dying at one of the options in the sort column being "mirobrewer". Apparently no one at the Ontario government knows how to spell check in Excel lol (although to be fair, I think most people don't).

Citizen editorial spray-painted on the former Beer Store at O'Connor and Donlands. And yes, I believe the owners of the property should clean up graffiti

I know it's pointless to continually point out that the Ford government *still* has done nothing to address bottle returns, and yet...
