Plea â€" Bargain _ Creates A â€" Strange Sort _ of Justice To all appearances, the administration of justice in Ontario seems to have suffered another blow. According to a recent Canadian Press article in the St. Catharines Standard, charges were dropped against a Thorold, Ontario man accused of being a "major bootlegger", when his company pleaded guilty to the same charge and was fined $4,000. Provincial authorities said that the case involved one of the "biggest busts in Ontario‘s history after more than 100,000 litres of suspected wine was confiscated from huge vats in the warehouse complex where the accused did business." As part of the ‘plea bargain‘ the firm was ordered to pay a $2,500 fine levied almost two years ago for earlier convictions, which it had not paid. The seized wine along with the winemaking equipment and supplies were returned to the accused. Regular readers of the Magnotta Report, will recall that for the past five years, we have been urging the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, (LCBO), the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario and provincial authorâ€" ities to end the practice of contraband wine sales in Ontario. One means is to assist would be to allow licensed wineries to sell a generic dry, white and red table wine in our retail stores for $59.95/20 litre bagâ€"inâ€"pail. We would be providing an affordable alternative to the thousands of people who seldom visit a Liquor Control Board of Ontario store, but do support the contraband marketplace that is costâ€" ing tens of millions of dollars in lost tax revenue while exposing themâ€" selves to unthinkable health hazards of the illegal wine trade.
