TORONTO — Ontario will not budge on its plan to have ready-to-drink cocktails sold at convenience and grocery stores across the province, Premier Doug Ford said Wednesday on the issue that has become a sticking point in an ongoing strike by liquor store workers.
"RTD is off the table," Ford said. "Let me be very clear: it's done, it's gone, that ship has sailed and it's halfway across Lake Ontario."Previous rounds of alcohol market expansion in Ontario have kept spirits sales in the hands of the LCBO.But it believes that the next step in alcohol expansion will threaten their workers' jobs and the LCBO's existence.
The LCBO brings in a net income of $2.5 billion to the public's coffers annually, which is then used by the province on services such as health care and education.Doug Ford says it would be 'foolish' to repair science centre building Blue Jays player Justin Turner and wife Kourtney Turner welcome first baby: 'We are so in love with you'Astronauts confident Boeing space capsule can safely return them to Earth, despite failures
