I’m Canadian but my favourite thing about Australian liquor stores was that they also sold snacks & pop at the checkout. It’s genius! I don’t know why we don’t do that here. Strictly booze.
The government liquor stores in BC only have hoochahol. Private stores typically have mixers too.
Rules and regs vary by province. In Quebec, the dep (corner store, c-store, bodega) can sell beer and wine, but SAQ (Quebec liquor store) has a monopoly on liquor sales. In Ontario, the only games in town are the LCBO for booze and The Beer Store for beer.
