Who doesn’t love an ice-cold beer from a bar, a pub, a liquor store… a gas station?
There could soon be up to 8,500 new places to buy low-alcohol drinks in Ontario, thanks to a new plan to speed up an agreement between the province and Beer Store. The cost? At least $225 million of taxpayer money.
Is this accelerated effort to “modernize” the alcohol market simply a play for political points ahead of a possible early election call?
This month, Allison and Jonathan crack a couple of cold ones and pore over the booze clues.
