There will finally be beer and wine in corner stores after Labour Day thanks to a $225-million payout to the privately-run Beer Store.

I wrote⬇️while reading⬆️:
while i want to see beer awine sales in corner stores, etc, i do want it to be well controlled; this is problematic, since we’re expecting a min wage likely student, likely immagrant, wage slave to be the arbitor of age check and restrictions. so we might need good training, nand serious consequences, for violations. i do recall nevada must have had a very serious law well enforced, cause even i and chad and possible matt?) bought a 6pack at a gas station, couinter person wansn’t letting use buy without carding, even thoight we were in our 40s (well, i was, not sure about chad or the rother guy with us).
so i think it is possible. but depending on local enforcement, could be less or more effective. we all know the po=trope of teens outside a liquor store buying for adults buying for them, but then this is where the penalty must be severe enough, and enforced, to set and maintina the tone effectiveness of the law.
sucks about the payment to the beer store; and doesn’t apper they will be going away…
should have kept the 6-pack limit, too. at least for non-grovery stores; eliminte the beer store, let fgrocery stores do 24s, non-grocery do beer/wine/mixed coctails
on bottle return, the groery stores won’t like it “But the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers’ Gary Sands said the changes would take “Ontario out of the horse-and-buggy era as far as beer and wine sales go,” although he expressed concern about the future of bottle returns.”
