(OttawaCitizen) - When the Canadian government is signing free-trade deals around the world, the continuing existence of an obscure law that restricts Canadians from shipping wine across provincial borders is a national embarrassment. That law, whose name - the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act - betrays the fact that it was enacted in 1928, is a little less obscure, thanks to a private member's bill and a campaign to bring Canada's wine laws into the 21st century. The bill from B.C. Conservative MP Dan Albas, which has all-party support, would make a small, common-sense, change in the outdated act by allowing Canadians to, for example, bring a case of wine back to Ontario after visiting a British Columbia vineyard, or vice-versa.
