SAQ status
 

For those in Quebec, can they confirm if the SAQ (the government owned liquor stores) is still on strike?

I'm going there tomorrow to freeze my ass off in -35 degree weather and want to know if I should stock up on vodka before leaving Vancouver

Bump. Y'a tu quelqu'un qui peut me dire si j'ai besoin d'ammener ma propre boisson maudit calvaire! :Graucho

Still on strike, unfortunately.

Only 40 or so stores are currently open. You can check on their website to see which stores are still operating.

Whatcha coming to do in Quebec? Based on your french cursing skills, I'm guessing you're coming to visit family for Christmas?

yeah on strike. looks like you can still order online though (my usual way of shopping with them).

where you at right now?

i wish u were right.

they closed it.. :(

That's exactly what I'm going to do in Quebec. Visit family and abuse my liver with booze. It's been so long since I spoke french, I just hope I won't order a "putain" when trying to order a "poutine" and vice versa...but on second thought, it wouldn't be such a problem. :Graucho Just that one I prefer the "putain" without the cheese :Graucho

Anyways, I need my booze to keep me somewhat sane in that cold distinct society. Looks like I found a location of SAQ nearby that will be opened after all. Thanks for the tip

No prob... glad I could help!

And enjoy your putain with cheese :winkwink:

On strike and the SAQ should refuse all negotiations with the union, bunch of morons :321GFY

Yes they are .

si ta besoin de quelque chose
fais moi signe
j'connais bien un directeur de succursale de SAQ dans mon coin, donc je peux bin t'avoir ce que tu veux asser facilement

:thumbsup
