It's been just a couple of years since big grocery stores in ontario have been given a licence to sell alcohol based products. Just before that it was like a dystopian world. Nothing is in common with Quebec :)

Able to exchange large amounts of cash. Open 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. 365 days a year. Please in your research of Toronto neighbourhoods. Include access to P.A.T.H.
