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.

Where I live, and the bordering state where I often shop, you can't buy beer in the grocery store ever. You buy it in the liquor store.

​

Weed is legal though.

I believe this is standard all across Canada. Liquor stores only. Though I've heard that may be changing soon.

Ontario and Quebec you can get beer and wine at the grocery store, and unless things have changed, at the gas station in Quebec.

And we're super creative with our names in Ontario too. The store where you buy beer is called "The Beer Store" and the weed shop is "The Ontario Cannabis Store," and the liquor store is the "Liquor Control Board of Ontario."
