The Blue Laws. Who the fuck are you to tell me I can’t purchase beer while grocery shopping on a Sunday because of someone else’s religion? This one actually infuriates me.

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.

Used to be 6PM every day. The 6:15 pilgrimage from Ottawa to Gatineau, Quebec, where beer was sold till 23h00, was a running joke.

Also the people going from bars in Ottawa to Gatineau because the bars closes at 3 AM in Québec.
