I don't not want this, but I recognize how little a factor this plays into my overall life satisfaction. Sure, it would be neat for people who consume alcohol to be able to buy it in convenience stores, but this policy, along with this government's pattern of prioritizing alcohol (1, 2, 3, 4) related policies is more than deeply concerning, when it's so painfully obvious we need to be improving our housing, healthcare, and education systems. We have more pressing areas that need addressing that affect more than just the people who drink, so it's honestly bewildering to see the conservatives focusing so much of their time on what amounts to only minor conveniences for people who consume alcohol, while the wallets of those Doug Ford is close with get major payouts.
I fucking hate that now I cannot go to the Farmer's Market without some asshole screaming at me from his stall to come buy his drugs. This is wrong on so many levels.
