SEPTEMBER 5: Liquor sales now legal in convenience stores in Ontario & NDP ends deal with Liberals

Toronto Today with Greg Brady

Greg Brady focuses in on a historic day in Ontario – the day that alcohol – beer, wine, cider, ready-to-drink cocktails can be sold in convenience stores – finally! We kicked off the conversation with an independent retailer – Terry Yaldo, owner of Midway Convenience and Chair of the Ontario Convenience Store Association, about what this means for his business – and what it was like to make his first beer sale!

Next, Jeff Brownlee, VP of stakeholder relations and communications for the Convenience Industry Council of Canada, for an overview of what alcohol sales in corner stores means for the industry – is it make or break?

Lastly, Nate Erskine-Smith, MP for Beaches East York and we were talking about the federal NDP breaking up with the Trudeau liberals by ending their confidence agreement – what does this mean for Jagmeet Singh and the Liberal party’s future in office?
