Last call for The Beer Store?
This week on Inside the Village, there’s a “seismic shift” on the horizon for alcohol sales in Ontario and it will likely start with The Beer Store. Dan Malleck, a Brock University professor and leading expert on drug and alcohol regulation, joins Frisco and Scott to talk about the 2018 campaign promise Doug Ford made regarding booze sales, and what the impacts — positive and negative — could be. Spoiler alert: we talk a lot about empties. Also on the show, Village Media shines as nominations are announced for the Canadian Online Publishing Awards. Sit back, relax and raise a glass (responsibly, of course) to this week’s episode of ITV.
