Yeah alright, wasn’t sure about that bit. In Nova Scotia, grocery stores and convenience stores can sell booze now, but they have to be a certain distance away from an NSLC, so we have some stores dotted around now selling booze. It’s been a while since I lived in Ontario and I left before the grocery store thing. Point being though, there’s ye olde Beer Store to go along with the LCBO and now there’s the other stores too. Did they ever get buck a beer though? I recall that being a very Important Issue when I left Ontario.

Ontario has he LCBO which is government owned and The Beer Store which is privately owned by Molsom-Coors, Labatt and Sleemans. There’s also some grocery stores that can sell some kinds of alcohol, but I think the rule is is that they need to be a certain distance away from an LCBO or Beer Store. This is mostly for rural areas I think?
