Cole Burston/Canadian Press Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Finance Minister Vic Fedeli stack cases of beer during a photo opportunity at a brewery in Etobicoke, Ont. The Progressive Conservatives tabled legislation Monday that would terminate a 10-year contract with The Beer Store that was signed by the previous Liberal government. The deal permitted an expansion of beer and wine sales to hundreds of grocery stores. In explaining Monday’s move, Finance Minister Vic Fedeli said the current system is a monopoly that is a bad deal for consumers and businesses. The Beer Store, however, suggested it was not willing to accept voiding any financial claims, saying it will fight the legislation through the courts.
