Liquors sales are socialized in Ontario, with the predictable high prices and poor selection. Alcoholic products are 1/2 price over the border in NY State.
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is a provincial Crown corporation established in 1927 to sell liquor, wine, and beer in Ontario through a chain of retail stores. Such sales had been banned outright in 1916 thus, the creation of the LCBO marked an easing of the province’s temperance regime.
LCBO stores are generally the only stores allowed to sell hard liquor in Ontario. Currently, the LCBO is one of the world’s largest single purchasers of beverage alcohol products.
