Liquor was a tricky issue for municipal, provincial, and federal governments after Confederation. \u003cem\u003eLiquor and the Liberal State\u003c\/em\u003e traces how the Ontario provincial government's takeover of liquor regulation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries involved both discrete local politics and expansive constitutional questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDan Malleck explores how notions of individual freedom, equality, and property rights were debated, challenged, and modified in response to a vocal prohibitionist movement and equally vocal liquor industry. While the liquor licensing regime helped build a vast patronage base for the governing Liberal Party, some believed it exceeded the constitutional authority of the province. 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. This lively and meticulous work demonstrates the challenges governments faced when dealing with the seemingly simple, but tremendously complicated, alcoholic beverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Arguing over Liquor and Liberalism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: Managing the Province's Liquor Problem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Place of the Government in the Drinks of the People\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Centralization, I: The Crooks Act\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Power and Influence in the New System\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Politics, Law, and the License Branch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: The Complications of Liquor in a Federal Liberal State\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 How Drinking Affects the Constitution, 1864–83\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 McCarthy and Crooks Enter a Tavern, 1883–85\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Attempting to Water Down the Scott Act, 1884–92\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Plebiscites as Tools for Change? 1883–94\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Talking and Blocking National Prohibition, 1891–99\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Dodging Decisions at the End of the Liberals' Era, 1894–1905\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 Drinking in Whitney's Conservative Liberal State, 1905–07\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 Centralization, II: Beyond the Crooks Act, 1907–16\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Liquor, Liberalism, and the Legacy of the Crooks Act\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppendix 1: Questions Sent by the Select Committee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppendix 2: Liquor-Related Laws in Force in Ontario\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes; Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531137904920,"sku":"9780774867160","price":55.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/liquor-and-the-liberal-state-drink-and-order-before-prohibition-hardback-9780774867160","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
