Who? Me?
It is true and I never seem to listen but sometimes it really isn't my fault.
For instance, for the better part of the last two days I have been at war with Disney. It seems that when the bank messed with our accounts (remember that?) the lovely folks at the Disney Vacation Club stopped the automatic payments. I got a letter from them early this week that the account was being held and we wood have to pay interest on the amounts that they didn't take. WTF???
So I called the woman who sent the letter and called and called. It took her until yesterday to return the call. She spouted a bunch of legal double talk so I called my lawyer. He got results. Long story short I had to send a letter telling them to reinstate the auto payments, I do not have to pay extra interest, what they did was illegal, Char and I get to go to Disney on the 26th as planned.
LJ- here is another long story short:

1. Current Law on Shipping
The important part of this law is section 3(1) which states:
Notwithstanding any other Act or law, no person shall import, send, take or transport, or cause to be imported, sent, taken or transported, into any province from or out of any place within or outside Canada any intoxicating liquor, except such as has been purchased by or on behalf of, and that is consigned to Her Majesty or the executive government of, the province into which it is being imported, sent, taken or transported, or any board, commission, officer or other governmental agency that, by the law of the province, is vested with the right of selling intoxicating liquor.
This section effectively makes it illegal to ship wine from one province to another or into a province from another country unless the wine is going to, or is otherwise authorized by, the governmental agency responsible for selling liquor within that province (e.g. the provincial liquor control board - in BC, that's the BC LDB). In other words, the federal law basically bans all shipment of liquor/wine across provincial borders or national borders unless the importation is authorized by the receiving province's liquor board.
