WOW are your laws different than ours. All our alcohol is regulated by
province as well and they are VERY different from province to province. We
cannot get "offsales" here in Ontario but can in Alberta and B.C. We do not
have "Depanners" here (variety/grocery store that sells liquour and beer)
but they do in Quebec. Thank God I live on the border. It used to come in
handy when company showed up on Sunday. Now our liquour and beer stores are
open on Sunday. As for the alcohol law regarding restaurants...they tried
that here for a few years but it didn't fly. Fortunately our government
listens somewhat to the Consumer. Now bars are open on Sunday...no problem.
As well the powers that be just extended bar closing hours to 3am here. 

And then you said...
 "But, do we really have to have alcohol to have a good time?".  

No, you're right...we don't.
