To All the Booze Who’ve Loved Beer Store

Description:

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.


Hosts: Jonathan Goldsbie, Allison Smith
