Cultural pastime, profitable industry, or harmful influence on the
nation? Liquor was a tricky issue for municipal, provincial, and
federal governments after Confederation. Liquor and the Liberal
State traces the Ontario provincial government's takeover of liquor
regulation by in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
It explores how notions of individual freedom, equality, and
property rights were debated, challenged, and modified in response
to an active prohibitionist movement and equally active liquor
industry. The drink question became as political as it was moral -
a key issue in the establishment of judicial definitions of
provincial and federal rights and, ultimately, in the crafting of
the modern state.
