What People Think of Local Option: An Investigation of Conditions, and Interviews With Officials and Representative Business Men, in the Cities and ... by a Representative of the Daily "Ontario - Softcover
Synopsis
This book takes an in-depth look at local option laws, which restrict the sale of alcohol in specific areas, as they were implemented in Canada's Ontario province during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author examines the arguments both for and against these laws, which at the time had split public opinion and pitted neighbor against neighbor. It analyzes how local option laws impacted the communities that implemented them, including positive developments such as lowered crime rates but also considering opposing arguments such as increased illegal sales and reduced tax revenues. By placing local option within the larger political and social context of the temperance movement, the author provides a nuanced understanding of the debate over alcohol regulation.
