As part of an ongoing loosening of alcohol rules, bars and restaurants will be able to start serving at 9 a.m., seven days per week.And individual municipalities will be able to set up "tailgating" areas for liquor consumption outside sporting events and allow drinking in a public space such as a park.
"We trust people to make the right decision - it's a 283 page budget there are certainly all of the services we are providing to be well listed," Fedeli said of the raft of booze changes in the budget. Quite frankly the province is ready for these changes." All previously scheduled increases to the wine and beer tax have been cancelled and there is an ongoing effort to allow corner stores to sell beer and wine."When you make these kinds of changes, you have to recognize that these changes have impacts and then plan for addressing them. Anyone who has lost a loved one to a drunk driver would be horrified to hear the minister's response."
For lottery players, the Ford government has ordered the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission to develop ways for people to purchase ProLine or Lotto 6/49 tickets using a smartphone. New casinos will be built in Peterborough and Pickering, and any casino will now be able to offer free alcoholic drinks to patrons as way to encourage them to keep gambling.
Sheldon Adelson really wants his casino! Even with one foot in the grave!

I disagree with booze and gambling changes, but I’m 100% behind dental care for seniors, child care relief for low income earners, plans to bring our transit into 21st century, which will also create hundreds of thousands of jobs, and no new tax burden for taxpayers.
It’s funny how Crackpot Ford is obsessed about rum but doesn’t drink it
Cant wait to drink at 9am
Sounds downright normal!
Keep ‘em drunk! They won’t notice that you are screwing them!
Not impressed.
