The Ontario Public Health Association … cites multiple studies showing that increases in the number of places where alcohol can be bought in Ontario, and in other jurisdictions, have already led to more consumption and more of the harms that come with it, such as suicides, drunk driving, emergency-room visits and higher rates of cancer.
I enjoy booze, but I like that it’s hard to get. I don’t need any more encouragement to mess up my liver.

I’m sure his meeting with 7/11 in Texas did not affect these plans whatsoever.
Jesus everything this guy proposes is seeping in corruption.
Folks, I can’t get reelected with all these progressives being sober.
Don’t even like Ford but this is pretty standard. These puritan era alcohol restrictions need to end.
Nothing that sees people consuming more alcohol is a good policy decision. Treatment for addiction in Ontario is pathetic and I feel pretty safe guessing none of this new revenue will be going to that. DoFo is like the asshole ex-husband that spoils the kids with stuff that isn’t good for them they’re not usually allowed to have. When meanwhile we’re being killed by grocery barons that Ontario is in bed with.
I worked at a 7-Eleven across the street from a university. It took years off my life. You expect a till jockey making minimum wage to cut drunk university students off? These are the same people who think nothing of starting food fights, smashing windows, upending garbage cans, or cutting open as many bags of chips as they can. That won’t end well. Also, Doug’s brother had substance abuse issues. This is unseemly.
