New provincial guidelines force Karl's Butcher shop to close after 46 years in business, serving as a landmark store in Toronto's old Polish community. My family shopped at this place even before I was born, and I have been going there pretty much all my life. I can personally attest to the quality of the products there. It's unbelievable how callously stupid governments can be ... unless of course there's a reason behind it: could it be so that the market gets concentrated in the hands of mass-market factory producers? Hmmm?
