Local Option in Manitoba Cautions on Banish the Bar Claims
The Social Ice Council argues against Banish the Bar claims as misleading. Manitoba Local Option remains fixed by law, with 153 municipalities governed by existing rules. Only 24 towns and 4 cities allow wholesale licenses, all subject to Local Option. One hundred fifty three municipalities are under prohibition, and Local Option can be used to block liquor sales as communities choose.
