      @johnstakos1875 Před 2 lety

      @@MakeThatChange I guess you can tell the difference since you have lived in Quebec. In ontario you can only buy alcohol from government ruled stores (LCBO, beer stores). It's been just a couple of years since big grocery stores in ontario have been given a licence to sell alcohol based products. Just before that it was like a dystopian world. Nothing is in common with Quebec :)
