Well, yeah, but that one's really a non-issue - it doesn't give the government any power it doesn't already have, and more importantly doesn't do anything to head off the chance that a future court ruling could strike down any part of the current law.

They would if the Attorney General ordered them to. It's just a completely pointless piece of legislation.

It is definately still illegal. You can get a federal licence but alcohol falls under provincial jurisdiction and the Federal Liscence clearly states that it does not supercede Provincial Legislation.
The guy in New Glasgow is off the radar. Blair in New Minas is not. He will definately be charged under provincial legislation. I assume he knows this and plans on fighting the laws. He will probably lose as well. The laws are more clear in NS than in any of the other 5 provinces that don't allow on-premise at this time.

Charlie is definitely not off the radar. He is in the home constituency of the provincial minister of justice, and put notice on the front page of the local newspaper. What law would he be charged with exactly? The last time around, two of three were dismissed, and the third was rectified by the license.

Charlie is off the radar because no one has complained. They will only act when there is a complaint. Let's just say that Blair is not very well liked in this industry.

The judge said in her ruling that she believed that Ross did not know he was in violation of provincial law because he had a federal permit, but would be much harder on him in the future. (Ross chose to plead ignorance instead of challanging the law)

Blair knows he is in violation of provincial laws. He was in the courtroom the whole time. He will be charged and probably found guilty of running an illegal U-Vint and of illegially selling alcohol.

That's not going to happen either. Regardless of how the law is written, how it works in practice is another story altogether. Hence the regulation. We've been through this all before.
