Alberta and Manitoba
Following up with Alberta and Manitoba ...
In Alberta, the provincial government de-regulated their liquor/beer stores about 5 years ago. There are now individually owned liquor/beer stores, but grocery stores and drug stores can't sell alcoholic beverages. (They can if the liquor is in a completely separate building)
Sales can be 24/7 - and FYI - drikning age is 18 there...
In Manitoba, the government owns the liquor stores that sell both liquor/beer. There are wine stores as well, but few of those.
They started Sunday opening last summer, and it went so well, it's now year round. It was one of the last to do so in Canada. Drinking age is 18 here as well.
