OTTAWA — The Liberals are raising their glass to a Conservative proposal to further free the beer by allowing Canada Post to ship Canadian booze across provincial lines. On Monday, Conservative MP Dan Albas tabled a private member’s bill that would allow Canada Post to ship alcohol across provincial lines to individuals. The goal of the bill is to allow Canadian beer, spirit and wine producers to be able to ship their products via Canada Post to anyone in the country. Currently, the Canada Post Act prohibits the Crown Corporation from moving “intoxicating beverages” across most provincial lines unless they are being shipped from one business to another. “His idea of changing… the Canada Post Act to incentivize provinces to allow and to cooperate with the government of Canada is a good one,” LeBlanc responded to Albas.
