Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book incisively examines the contentious issue of temperance through the lens of Local Option campaigns in Ontario, Canada, during the late 19th century. The author meticulously presents firsthand accounts from Owen Sound and Galt, offering contrasting perspectives on the impact of this policy on social, economic, and moral dimensions. Local Option, a form of prohibition, aimed to regulate the sale of alcohol to reduce its associated ills. However, the book reveals the complexities and consequences of such measures. Through interviews with prominent citizens, police magistrates, and business owners, the author unveils the unintended effects of Local Option, including burgeoning illicit alcohol trade, increased drunkenness, and divisions within communities. By delving into the lived experiences of individuals during this period, the book sheds light on the challenges and paradoxes of implementing temperance reforms, providing valuable insights for contemporary debates on alcohol policy and its broader societal implications.
