“You dream of a day like this but you never really believe it will happen, then it does, and well... I’m sorry, I promised myself I wouldn’t get emotional.” Said 36 year-old Ed Slitzky, part-time banquet bartender and paint-ball instructor. “My whole life has been an inconvenience up until now, and I don't care that it cost billions to get rid of the Beer Store and all its employees so that hard working Ontarians can choose from well over three or four brands at mildly inflated prices while gassing up. It’s like Ontario has become world class over night!” Circle K has become the latest convenience outlet to carry beer and wine in Ontario. Former Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, was appointed to the board of ‘Couche-Tard’, which owns Circle K, in March.
