Beer stores in Ontario are abruptly closing (www.blogto.com)

Beer Store locations across Ontario are shutting down as the chain faces unprecedented competition.

What was once held a monopoly for the sale of beer and other ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages across Ontario could soon be facing extinction, as a swath of closures have wracked the company in recent months.

The beer store is a foreign owned private entity that has been granted a government monopoly on a wide range of beer sales. It is completely ridiculous in both concept and execution.

Also, not to mention the larger selections.

As compared to what exactly? Spoken like someone who has never left Ontario.
