Your interpretation is in line with conversations I've had with store clerks. The big distilleries, Smirnoff etc, don't like the free market competition and apparently this isn't the first time they've gotten the province involved.
As I admittedly don't actually know much of Canadian politics, especially so at the provincial level, I had to make some broad assumptions but it seems that such practices are just a given at this point, regardless of geographical location. I found out recently that despite living in the land of the so-called free, it is apparently very much frowned upon to just like... open a roadside tavern for weary travelers. Something about health codes and livestock in common areas or something .
Iβve met some pretty sexy livestock.
It could be a combination tavern/bordello.
