Slippery Slope?

There has been an argument for decades about whether to allow the sale of beer and wine in places other than the LCBO(liquor control board Ontario) stores and designated beer stores. One argument contends that we need tight controls of all alcohol sales while the other side argues that in other provinces it is already being sold in regular retail locations and Ontario therefore should be no different. As we are aware Ontario has recently decided to allow sales of  beer and wine in certain retail stores. Is it a slippery slope? Are there legitimate concerns? Take a look at a store I passed the other day in another country. I am glad to see the children can get their lollipops and Johnny Walker together. At least it appears the marijuana is still kept behind the counter.
