    Completely agree. I just think an attempt to regulate the corpos would result in mandate for age verification by the corpos collecting IDs. There are obviously smarter ways to do such regulation, I just don’t think a Liberal or Consrrvative gov’t would go for such solution. That’s why I’d be okay with shifting responsibility. It’s not what I’d like but I’d tolerate it and it’ll do the job I think.
