TORONTO — Ontario is speeding up its expansion of alcohol sales in the province , and the move comes with up to $225 million in public money for The Beer Store .
After Sept. 5, eligible convenience stores will be able to sell beer, cider, wine and ready-to-drink cocktails, and after Oct. 31, all grocery stores and big box stores could sell those products, including large-pack sizes. Over time, the changes will add up to 8,500 new places where people in Ontario could buy alcohol, the government said.
As part of this new, earlier rollout of Ford's plan to expand alcohol sales, an "early implementation agreement" signed with The Beer Store involves the province paying the company up to $225 million to support the transition, including to help it keep stores open and workers employed.
The government is putting an additional $10 million over five years to support social responsibility, but a coalition of public health and advocacy organizations have called on the province to develop a comprehensive alcohol strategy for reducing harms. "I love these ingredients separately but never thought to combine them until I saw it on a YouTube channel. So I tried it and LOVED it."Adding just a few ultraprocessed foods to a healthy diet raised risk of cognitive decline and stroke, study says
