I think there's a difference between legalizing Molson Canadian and crack, rape, and murder.
we would, clearly, only allow crack, rape and murder inside government controlled space within approved grocery stores.

...and there is the belief among some circles (especially the Don Cherry types) that "practising Muslims can never be true Canadians."
How racist.
In some of the more remote and sparsely populated parts of Northern Ontario there is no Beer Store or LCBO. You get your wine, beer, or spirits at the only store there is for many miles in any direction. The same store where you gas up your car, buy a DVD or a paperback, mail your letters, buy your breakfast cereal and laundry detergent - something the LCBO terms agency stores. It is absurd that politicians can say with a straight face that corner stores or grocery stores shouldn't be selling alcohol considering it's already the case in some parts of Ontario.
There are several just outside the GTA, such as in Rockwood and Hillsburgh.
There is one in the GTA; at Mount Albert.
All of the above are in small grocery stores. The closest "general store" agencies are in Mansfield and Hawkestone, neither are in Northern Ontario.

As far as monopolies go, the LCBO (and the SAQ, for that matter), are actually quite good compared to U.S. state monopolies such as the one in Pennsylvania, where the wine and liquor stores are outdated and dreary, with a poor selection and higher prices than one would expect. But beer is dirt cheap.
Bayer: Living for a time in the Philadelphia area I remember that the PA LCB monopoly could be expensive
and I also remember that privately-run liquor stores in nearby New Jersey competed well with them...
Buying beer could be interesting remembering how PA only allowed licensed bars and clubs to sell six-packs
and other then beer and soda (pop) distributors there were few places that had beer licenses...
