    I've just discovered that the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) only has an app for iPhone. How can this be? They are a Canadian corporation, which is in fact owned by the the Ontario Government and therefore the tax payers of the province. Their clientele is almost exclusively Canadian. How can they not have an app for BlackBerry?

    The LCBO will never see another dime from me. Period.

    How many of you are with me?

    I'm not sure the sarcasm of my original post is evident. Maybe I should edit the title of the thread to make it more clear.

    Only beer is cheaper in PQ. Wine and spirits are more expensive.

    PS. The SAQ (Quebec Liquor Commission) doesn't have a BlackBerry App either, so we'll need to boycott them too.

    LCBO and Beer Store haven't seen a dime from me in years. I try and make a semi annual run to the USA where booze is still priced reasonably.

    You've figured me out! This is in fact a response to the Westjet thread.

    Just trying to prove how silly it is to threaten to boycott Canadian companies that don't have a native BlackBerry App.

    Boycotting for apps is dumb. A massive spike of emails to the developer is what people should do. But they don't...

    Although I agree to threaten a boycott against Westjet or any other company for not having a BlackBerry App is silly, and probably just an idle threat. I don't believe they should not be criticised for not providing one. Along with any other company that claims that their company is Proudly Canadian. Westjet is a big boy now. I'm sure they can take a little heat.

    Yes, they are. I think we need to give them some grace period to release one.

    Westjet look at the bottom line, just the way we do as consumers. Even if the LCBO wasn't a monopoly, I would still buy from them if it was in my financial interest to do so. So for example if they had a product at a lower price. So with both Westjet and the LCBO, or any other Canadian company I'll buy from them if they have the best price.

    Westjet are just doing the same thing with their app. They've simply decided that it makes the most financial sense to release Android and iOS first.

    If we try to boycott all the Canadian companies that don't have a BlackBerry app we're in a lot of trouble.

    LOL. I remember my dear sis showing off her cool LCBO app where she can find new wines and some crap on her iPhone.

    So I was all like "Oh yeah? Well check this out..."

    Searches "LCBO" in Snap...

    searching...

    "...oh snap." (no pun intended)

    "No Android app? What!?"

    This is an outrage! Rise up my brother Fandroids and boycott the LCBO with us! Hoorah!


    Look? See? Nobody cares...

    No need as I have a great little app for the Beer Store, LCBO and the Wine Rack. Used it a few times when away from home.
