On Thursday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that convenience stores and all grocery stores will be allowed to sell beer, wine, cider and ready-to-drink cocktails by 2026. He added that the move aligns Ontario with other provinces and the rest of the world, where such sales are commonplace. Ford said the expanded marketplace will give people more choice, convenience, and time.
