Excerpt from The Goblin, Vol. 6: January, 1926 Ontario is probably as dry as any territory can be made under a legally enforced prohibition policy.

The Winnipeg rake after ushering in the infant year in an entirely satis factory fashion is forced to admit that he is not quite the tippling toreador he presumed before reading the Toronto papers. The Montreal matador, after watching his Ameri can cousins dfsport themselves in the time-honored manner of all true devotees of Bacchus, concludes that he has his own little corner. Of Hades within easy reach. When the Ontario news seeps in he gives himself up. Ontario is receiving a goodly amount of advertisement as the ideal place for raising a ruckus. A few more years shall roll and the tourist trade from the rest of the nation should put the American quota in the background.
