Unbelievable in this day and age...
A 1928 law makes it illegal for consumers to transport even a single bottle of wine across a provincial border. The same applies for beer. This archaic law was originally designed to prevent the flow of liquor to provinces that still had prohibition in place.
Kelowna MP Ron Cannan is putting forth a proposed amendment to allow a "personal use" exemption so out-of-province tourists taking home wine from their trip to the Okanagan are not breaking the law.
Isn't this stupid? Thought you'd think so. How can you help?

If it's illegal in BC, it's illegal here, so let's help get this law amended and add some common sense to the legislation.
