Ontarians will soon be able to buy alcoholic drinks like coolers outside of the LCBO, as the Ford government expands on where booze can be bought in the province.
“[Ontarians] are excited to hear that they’re finally being treated as adults,” Premier Doug Ford said during a Friday press conference in Etobicoke.
Ford announced on Friday that starting Aug. 1, Ontarians will be able to buy alcoholic beverages like coolers and other pre-mixed drinks at grocery stores currently licensed to sell beer, cider and wine.
After Sept. 5, all eligible convenience stores will be able to sell beer, cider, wine and ready-to-drink beverages, as well.
And after Oct. 31, big-box stores will also be eligible to sell those beverages.

Trying to distract from the shitshow so they offer beer.
Just what people need…
thanks doug ford
I feel our tax dollars would be spent more wisely I don’t think promoting alcohol in Ontario is a great idea
I think this is excellent news. Well done Mr. Ford.
