It will soon be legal to purchase wine in Quebec and bring it home to Ontario.
Whether it’s red, white or rose, pretty soon you’ll be able to buy wine anywhere in Canada.
A private member’s bill, C-311, was brought forward by B-C Tory MP Dan Albas and passed late yesterday. It allows Canadians to transport wines across provincial borders.
