I agree with you. That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. I often get off work at 2am and enjoy the solitude of walking my dog at this time. I don`t believe I would even feel comfortable carrying money with me at that hour. I can`t even believe this was suggested.

I would also love to see this service become part of our regular garbage collection. I take a trip to the recycling center once a week minimum. I would be willing to pay extra for garbage collection if it were to include this service, as my time is valuable.

Did you know, however, that if you call in an impaired driver, that person has the right to know who accused them of being impaired? That certainly doesn't make it a very appealing option to me. I'm sorry, but the last thing I want or need is for someone to seek revenge for me "ratting" them out.

You have gotta be kidding!

I think that money could be better used on things such as Wetaskiwin roads. When I no longer dodge potholes on my way to the bank, public art might be a valid topic

These people don't care which form of alcohol they get. Sure, beer and liquor may TASTE better than Listerine or Aqua Velva, but they all contain alcohol, which is what these people are after. They are awake early in the morning to go collect bottles to enable them to purchase whatever form of alcohol they can afford. On a good day, this will be a liter of 11% Axehead beer. On a bad day, it's a bottle of hairspray. The end result is the same. They cause very few, if any, problems after early evening, as they are already down for the count. As someone who has struggled with addiction, I am of the belief that in order to overcome a compulsion, you have to WANT to, and it ususally comes down to desperation, in one form or another. Even though crack is illegal, and therefore should be unavailable for purchase, there are still crackheads. Will closing liquor stores early solve any problems of alcoholism within our city? It's doubtful.
