    To All the Booze Who’ve Loved Beer Store

    Who doesn’t love an ice-cold beer from a bar, a pub, a liquor store… a gas station? There could soon be up to 8,500 new places to buy low-alcohol drinks in Ontario, thanks to a new plan to speed up an agreement between the province and Beer Store. The cost? At least $225 million of taxpayer money. Is this accelerated effort to “modernize” the alcohol market simply a play for political points ahead of a possible early election call? This month, Allison and Jonathan crack a couple of cold ones and pore over the booze clues.

    This Sh*t is Banana Cats

    The next provincial election is two years away, but to turn on your TVs, you’d think we were in the midst of one. Flush with cash, Doug Ford’s party is taking out ads attempting to cast the premier as cuddly and contrite. Meanwhile, the Ontario NDP is going all in on the weird side of TikTok, churning out videos so assertively surreal as to approach the level of art. This month, Allison and Jonathan don their leotards and consider Ontario politics’ new experimental era.
