Pity your local Publican
Pub owners in Canada are feeling the pinch. With the National Hockey League lockout continuing without any end in sight, there is now clear evidence it is having a detrimental effect on the bottom lines of business across the country.
According to the National Post, sales of draft beer are down 14% nationally with the biggest drops in Nova Scotia and Ontario.
So pity your local Publican and head in for a pint this week. When hockey does come back, we'll need them to still be in business.
