vid Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 You can buy that kind of bread at Superstore. It's more expensive, but they do sell it. Safeway has one where they bake a loaf of bread with pieces of cheese in it, that's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion9131 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 In Ontario, alcohol can only be sold in the provincially-controlled LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) outlets. They are the largest single purchaser of alcohol in the world but that doesn't do anything for their prices. They sell a selection of beer (mostly expensive niche stuff), but most beer is sold at The Beer Store, which is a private entity owned by Molson/Coors, Labatt (InBev) and Sleeman (Sapporo). The Beer Store is effectively a government enforced private monopoly, and their prices are typically 5 to 50% higher than in other provinces, and 10 to 80% higher than in the US.I used to support such a set up but no longer do. If selling beer in corner stores works in Quebec and Alberta without major social issues, I don't see why we can't have the same thing in Ontario. I am a strong advocate for Private Liquor sales, and competition. The LCBO isn't too bad, when it comes to selection, but the Beer Store is a joke. Compared to the rest of Canada, we are getting shafted with selection, and prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's why The Beer Store has such terrible selection compared to what I'm used to in Alberta. Do you guys get Everclear in Ontario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian National Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Assuming its more healthy than say McDs or Burger King and the like, do you consider Subway fast food? Yus, even though the grade 10s at my school tell me to eat out at Subway because it's healthy, makes me wanna laugh my ass off. I also consider Mr.Sub fast food, but they got good subs. ISMichael.
