Let’s see, there are more than 12 million people living in Ontario. The Ontario Government is going to make is “easier” to buy wine and liquor by licensing ten — ten! — so-called Express Kiosks selling wine and liquor in grocery stores across the province. They are going to be located in ten — ten! — large grocery stores yet to be named. and it will happen “late next year”. Earlier today, before the depressing details were revealed, we fantasized about buying wine at Tremblett’s or Loblaw or Metro. But the chance that one of these would be among the ten — ten! — of these kiosks is a silly dream. The Government should immediately authorize a plan for the sale of wine and liquor in the stores of every responsible company that wishes to sell it. CBC
