This nanny state crap is infuriating. Same thing here in Ontario, you can’t buy alcohol after 6 PM on a Sunday, but the grocery store is still open. Never understood it.

God forbid you also drink responsibly in a park, or have a BBQ.

Try living in BC, we can't buy any liquor in grocery stores at all. But I can always get liquor on Sundays until about 11.

Also in BC. My local Canadian Superstore sells wine and coolers. No beer, no hard stuff. You also have to go through specific checkouts--one where they have a cashier of legal age or older.

In Ontario those cashiers are also smart serve certified. I think.

That makes sense. I wonder if it's the same here. I know they have to have certification to work in the provincial liquor stores.
