Podcasts about liquor mart

A recap of violent incidents across the city is the theme of Episode 48, including a possible lead in an inner-city homicide. Part 1- Our recent episodes get a mention, as does the controversy about antisemitism on display at the University of Manitoba medical graduation- which earned a stern rebuke from the Rady family. Will this issue trip up the NDP at the doors in the Tuxedo by-election? 8:48 Part 2- Disturbing details of separate mall parking lot beatings in Tuxedo and Grant Park that newsrooms haven't warned the community about, but we do. One victim lost almost every tooth in their mouth, to a trio who took off in a stolen car; the other was carjacked in a brazen noon hour assault. One senior said they won't even carry plastic to the mall anymore, lest they be purse-snatched. Then we continue east to Osborne Village, where Mayor Gillingham visited the neighborhood with CBC last week to address the rampant crime that forced Starbucks to shutter. As Marty Gold explains, corporate practices that tolerated drugged out zombies using the restaurant until it was too late were part of the problem. 18.50- Gillingham made the point that social issues don't underly every incident, and that some criminals just "think they can get away with it." While that seems an entirely reasonable statement, an anti-cop, anti-capitalist, antisemitic professor at the University of Winnipeg ivory tower pounced with a Marxist word salad: "This rhetoric is made possible by concessions to the separation of criminalized people into categories of those who deserve to be policed and those who don't... Regardless of the person or issue being policed, policing is a repressive and harmful response." Her oppression narrative was immediately dismantled by a critic who raised the eruption of consequence-free Liquor Mart carry-out heists a few years ago, and by a fellow who works in a beer vendor describing the threats he gets. If policing represses violent thieves, the working class seems to be all for it. Check out the top episodes⁠⁠, make a donation towards our costs, and help our public affairs coverage spring into summer 22.30- Continuing on to St. Boniface, one 7-11 is already closed overnight, and another might not be far behind after a failed 2 am robbery. A 17 year old with priors unloaded bear spray but was tackled by 2 customers. We wonder what would keep kids like this out of trouble... more recreation probably?... except Council keeps closing pools in the French quarter. 25.30 Foodfare on Portage at Arlington keeps appearing in headlines, but after 3 employees got the brass knuckle treatment from (yet another) 17 year old, one detail wasn't heard in the news. He had been tossed out of the supermarket earlier and returned for revenge, but sources tell us- he brought some friends. Is that the kind of gang Wab Kinew said he'd go after? 27.00- A body was found in the back lane around the 400 block of Notre Dame near Isabel last Tuesday. You'll want to hear about a potential clue from someone who had played online video games with the victim, Leo Amus Caribou, and was trying to find out what happened. Rounding out the episode is a couple of arrests of violent criminals with a common denominator - failure to comply. One case involved a slew of weapons and drugs; the other, trying to mow down store employees with a stolen car. Just remember that to the Criminal Justice experts at the U of W, "policing is a repressive and harmful response." ********* Coming up: Updates on Happyland Pool, Tuxedo by-election candidates, and a chat with East Kildonan Coun. Jason Schreyer!

When it became apparent that the liquor supply disruptors were heading to a contract agreement, the mainstream media lost a reliable supply of daily hot takes and updates. In analyzing the fallout, we see how unionized reporters can show their bias when reporting on government labour issues. As Marty Gold describes in Episode 50, there had already been a difference of opinion between the MGEU and the liquor workers union about moving to arbitration. And NDP leader Wab Kinew and his MLLC critic Lisa Naylor had already given contradictory messages on how they would handle labour actions if they were in charge of Manitoba. Then, the tabling of a 12% raise likely to be accepted by MLLC workers gave the NDP one less source of headlines to work over the PC's with. Luckily, the local newspaper leapt to the rescue. Listener supported- it's with your help, that these important stories are being told! You can contribute via Interac transfer, or by this link:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ "Massive, multinational alcohol beverage companies are trying to bend the ear of Manitoba's Progressive Conservative government", breathlessly pronounced the Free Press, manufacturing yet another liquor industry crisis. Demonizing the Stefanson government for promising more private retail distribution wasn't enough - it's a plot that includes greedy brewers and bottling barons! Never stated outright, is the anti-business mentality that insists there's something sinister about how Labatt's "previously advocated against increased markups on liquor in Manitoba" and other companies registered to lobby MLAs "amid a bitter liquor workers strike that comes after repeated attempts by the Tories to expand private booze sales." One of the bills proposed a pilot project in corner stores or grocery stores. The second bill would allow private beer vendors and wine stores to stock additional thirst-quenchers. Somehow, that's a threat? In the old-time newsrooms in Winnipeg, bottles of scotch were a staple item in desk drawers of publishers, editors, and ink-stained wretches covering courts cops and sports. Now, modern journalists draw a direct line between bottlers wanting drinkers to be able to afford their products and in more places with dismantling the job security of union members. No wonder the Winnipeg Press Club folded. 24:51 Part 2 - As public trust in public institutions such as the mainstream media collapses, Marty looks at some of the reasons why it's happening in Winnipeg. One reason: people being told things they are concerned about are 'conspiracy theories' when they aren't. Don't worry about the WEF influencing governments to impose their warped goals, claims the Free Press, worry about Labatt's or Molson's wanting you to be able to buy beer at the 7-11 and not get gouged on the price... Lastly, another example of where the local media is failing: "The North End is forgotten about." Garbage dumping in North End back lanes leaves filth and used needles strewn in the path of children; it took 2 years to finally report on. The public doesn't feel they can turn to the broadcast media and get action on their problems if it can't be framed by the elitists in the media as an issue of 'equity' 'justice' or 'climate crisis'. Here at TGCTS, we frame local stories using sensible and realistic criteria, not those of the WEF.

Did you ever notice the red building with the yellow roof across from what was an Applebee's at the Annapolis Mall?  Have you ever stopped in?  If not, you are missing out. Liquor Mart & Deli (no real online presence) is an amazing Annapolis gem that has been a staple in the area for nearly fifty years! Amy Applestein has worked in the business for decades and with the death of her uncle, Howard Pinski, became the owner. Liquor Mart & Deli has become a neighborhood stop for beer, wine, and spirits. But the draw (at least for me) is the amazing sandwiches.  Plentiful, affordable, and oh so good. Roast beef is my go-to, but Amy assures me their egg salad (homemade daily) is a winner as well.  Most popular.. their Reubens and Rachaels.  Next time you are near the mall, stop in and ay hello.  And we also learned something new--I did not realize Mr. Pinski was involved with Liquor Mart & Deli. And with his passing, Amy is also an owner of the AMAZING Ann's Dari Creme in Glen Burnie! This was a blast. A fun episode with a long-time, family-owned business.  Have a listen!

BGBS 026: Laurence Spiewak (Suerte Tequila)Co-founder, Laurence Spiewak, is sharing how Suerte Tequila came to be.  While it may not have been the most direct route, Laurence is happy with all the adventures his heart has led him on. Find out how a kid from Philly left the family business for occupational therapy, only to again follow his heart and build his own tequila brand. Learn what's possible when you follow your heart. What we're talking aboutThe American Dream and A Call For Adventure How the Knowledge of Consumer Packaged Goods Led To Great Tequila The Tequila Challenge of The Three-Tier System The American Dream and A Call For AdventureLaurence Spiewak is the son of an immigrant. His father taught him what it took to be an entrepreneur and own a successful and lucrative business. While Laurence will be the first to admit he didn't necessarily have the entrepreneurial spirit early on in life, he did embrace the call to adventure and curiosity about other cultures from a young age. Determined to follow his interests and passions at the time, he convinced the dean at Penn State University to allow him to study both international business and art with the vision of combining the two in some way. He discovered his love for ceramics and the history of deep culture rooted in the art. During this same time, he also soon became aware of many of the environmental issues around the globe and learned he could have a significant impact in the world if he took action. He took this passion for the environment and made the move to Boulder, CO for a year after college, to be exposed to the wilderness. This exposure, however, made him realize how  curious he was to explore even more of the world, and he soon set out to travel and experience Europe and other parts of the world. He first set off to Whales to live in community and help care for those with developmental disabilities, which had a very big impact on him. After six months in Whales, Laurence traveled through Western Europe, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. These adventures significantly shaped his future. Upon returning home, and knowing he wanted a career where he helped people to have better lives, he went on to study occupational therapy and ultimately went on to run rehab departments in nursing homes in New York. His love for helping people could not quiet the calling from Boulder, Colorado pulling him back. How the Knowledge of Consumer Packaged Goods Led To Really Good TequilaAfter four years of working in nursing homes back in Colorado, Laurence was feeling some sense of burn out. He decided it was time to make a change, and reached out to a friend who had started a natural organic skin care company, asking if he could help grow this entrepreneurial endeavor.  This experience helped to solidify his familiarity with consumer packaged goods. He soon saw that he had a knack for helping entrepreneurs do business and financial planning, and began a career as a consultant. During this time, Laurence's friendship with an old co-worker, Lance Sokol continued to grow, bonding over a shared love of drinking and trying new Tequila. They made it their mission to try every tequila out there. Soon realizing they had tried many of the brands out there, and that the really good tequila cost a lot of money, they looked at each other and wondered if it was too crazy of an idea to start their own brand. They already were in the consumer packaged goods world, already knew how to set up products, how to source raw materials, how to create packaging and how to price things. They made a business plan in hopes their dream would become a reality. Lance soon met Pedro Hernandez Barba, a master distiller of tequila in Mexico who was looking for someone in the US to produce tequila for. The three got together and discussed their dreams and created a partnership. Laurence and Lance would act as the importer and brand, and Pedro's family would act as supplier and distiller. The Tequila Challenge of The Three-Tier System Luck seemed to find Laurence, thus suerte or “luck” in Spanish, became the name of their tequila brand. While this adventure seemed to get off the ground flawlessly, there was one challenge they continued to come across. The U.S. has what's called a Three-Tier System for alcoholic beverages. In the alcoholic beverage industry you have the suppliers, distributors and retailers. So those are the three tiers. You can't do business on more than any one of those at a time. So a supplier can't own a distribution business  or vice versa. But even within the distribution piece, most laws have laws that prohibit you from selling directly to customers or directly to retailers. You have to do it with a middle man distributor. Each of those distributors have business in many of the brands they represent, which makes it very competitive until you actually generate some volume. These challenges do present themselves, but Suerte Tequila seems to be doing pretty well for itself, as luck would have it. What was the last adventure you let your heart take the lead on?

(LS) I had this curiosity to go and explore and to see what the world was like. (LS) I want to just use the money I've saved and go travel and explore the world and learn about what else is out there. (LS) There was a huge need in the world for people who are willing and had the patience to actually care for others. (LS) My interest in entrepreneurship started really developing even more strongly at that point because I was working for and helping to run an entrepreneurial endeavor and being exposed to entrepreneurship on a daily basis. (LS) It was one of the best traits that we both brought to the business into the creation of the business, which was that we had no fear, and we had no hesitation. (LS) One of the most incredible parts of being an entrepreneur or starting new businesses is just that, it's getting them started. (LS) ‍

Want to send a special shoutout to Mr. K's Liquor Mart on Orangethorpe Ave. Cheers!

My pre-show ritual of drinking a Samuel Smith's oatmeal stout started back when I was seeing the Grateful Dead. A single 20 ounce bottle could sustain me for an entire evening. Too heavy to be chugged, it is a beer to be savored. For my money, a $3 bottle of Sammy's symbolizes summer afternoons of freedom and relaxation. In the summer of 1994, Lisa and I found a couple bottles for sale at the last store on the road to Denali. We sat on the side of a dusty road sipping an Oatmeal Stout under the midnight sun while listening for the bus that would take us into the wild.So when a podcast listener named Jeremiah wrote the following words, I felt compelled by mysterious forces to oblige his request;"Keep up the good work, I thrive on your podcast, its great music to listen to. Brings back memories of the good ole' days when I was in college. No bills, plenty of Panic, and a good Sammy Smith Oatmeal Stout!"He's asked for anything from 1996 through 2001 from Oak Mountain in Pelham (outside of Birmingham) Alabama. You pretty much can't go wrong with that date range with this band at that venue.So I went down to Liquor Mart today and bought a Sammy Smith Oatmeal Stout. I've cracked it open. And I am listening and relaxing, waiting to be taken into the wild. I suggest you do the same.June 28, 1996Airplane >Take Off Jam (with Dark Star jam) >And It Stoned Me >Henry Parsons DiedStop-G0 >Barstools and Dreamers (with Satisfied rap)September 25, 1999Surprise Valley >Bear's Gone Fishing >C.
