Meanwhile here in north America, you can usually buy alcohol any time at gas stations…
Times are limited in Canada. For example, in Quebec you can’t buy alcohol between 11pm and 6am except in bars, and bars have to close at 3am.
Is there really a watchdog though? Ontario just put alcohol in gas stations and several of my friends have been buying after the legal hours.
Can’t speak for Ontario, but I know a few people who’ve worked in convenience stores and gas stations here, and occasionally they have someone come in and test the clerks. A teenager trying to buy cigarettes or alcohol, for example, or someone trying to buy alcohol after 11pm. Most convenience stores close at 11pm, and those that don’t will usually lock the wine racks and beer fridges.
So you can buy any time of day at the gas station but not a train station where it highly unlikely you are the one driving the train?
