Alcohol tax cuts in Ontario are in effect. Here's what you need to know
An LCBO employee moves products in an LCBO store at Union Station in Toronto on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Laura Proctor Ontario's largest alcohol tax cut in decades officially takes effect today, with the provincial government cutting levies and LCBO markups in an effort to shield local producers from global trade tensions. The changes, announced in the 2025 provincial budget include significant tax relief for spirits, cider, and ready-to-drink beverages (RTDs), along with new support for microbreweries. While the Ford government says the move is a response to U.S. trade policies, industry experts say some sectors will remain largely unaffected but others could see some new growth. What's changing and who benefits? In an email to CTV News Toronto, the Ministry of Finance says the cuts include a 50 per cent reduction in the spirits basic tax rate for distilleries with on-site retail sales, a nearly 50 per cent cut to LCBO markups on cider, and reduced markups for wine- and spirit-based ready-to-drink beverages with alcohol content under 7.1 per cent. Beer made by Ontario microbreweries will also benefit, with reductions to both LCBO markups and the beer basic tax, along with enhancements to the province's Small Beer Manufacturers' Tax Credit. 'In the face of President Trump's tariffs and tariff threats taking direct aim at our economy, we are protecting Ontario business with the largest tax cut to the alcohol industry in decades,' a spokesperson for Ontario's Ministry of Finance said. The province is also allocating $100 million in 2025–26 and $155 million in 2026–27 to support these changes. Scott Simmons, president of the industry trade association Ontario Craft Brewers, said the reforms mark a defining moment for the province's beer industry. 'The tax cut that takes effect today is a game changer for Ontario's craft beer sector, one of the biggest things to happen to the industry in a generation, and a great day for locally-owned craft breweries, craft beer lovers, and communities across Ontario,' Simmons said in a statement. 'We represent 80 per cent of all direct brewing jobs in Ontario, and today's tax changes have put it on a path that will see breweries grow, create even more jobs, invest in their communities, and get more local beer on store shelves — I think that's something we can all cheers!' The government also says this is part of a broader effort to modernize Ontario's alcohol marketplace. Not all sectors will see the same relief The Ontario Craft Wineries association says most of today's changes won't directly impact traditional wine producers, who saw earlier reforms of their own. 'With regards to taxation and other supports, OCW received some big wins recently including the elimination of the 6.1 per cent wine basic tax and an extension and uncapping of the VQA Support Program,' Michelle Wasylyshen, president and CEO of Ontario Craft Wineries, said in a statement. But Wasylyshen noted there's still more work to be done to level the playing field. One top priority, she said, is removing the LCBO administration fee charged to wineries for sales to restaurants — a fee that's applied even though 'the LCBO (is) not providing a service in this transaction.' She added that the recent shift toward Canadian-made products still presents a rare window of opportunity for domestic wine producers. 'The 'Buy-Canadian' movement has given us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get our products into the hands of consumers, onto store shelves and into restaurants,' Wasylyshen said. 'Our biggest priority continues to be in sustaining (that) incredible boost in sales.' What comes next? While the results of the new framework remain to be seen, the province says they will continue to 'champion' domestic businesses. 'We will continue to champion Ontario and Canadian businesses as we work to build a more self-reliant and resilient economy.'

OC Transpo scrapping youth passes on Sept. 1, charging 11-19 year-olds the same fare as adults
It will soon be the end of the road for OC Transpo's youth pass, as the City of Ottawa gets set to scrap the discounted pass for 11- to 19-year-olds at the end of August. In a memo to council, acting OC Transpo general manager Troy Charter reminded councillors the youth monthly pass will be discontinued as of September 1. 'Customers who currently have a Youth concession set on their Presto card will be charged an adult monthly pass on September 1,' Charter said. The youth monthly pass costs $104 a month, while an adult monthly pass costs $135 a month. Council approved the elimination of the youth monthly pass as part of the 2025 City of Ottawa budget in a bid to reduce a proposed budget deficit. The budget also eliminated free transit for 11 and 12-year-olds. A report for the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority shows the 2025-26 draft budget projected a $4.8 million increase in public transit costs due to the elimination of free transit for students 12 and under and scrapping the youth fare pass in September.

Canada's first quantum computing hub boots up in southern Alberta
Social Sharing Businesses in southern Alberta are getting the chance to try out a publicly accessible supercomputer. A quantum computing hub, created by SuperQ Quantum Computing, recently opened at the Tecconnect innovation centre at Economic Development Lethbridge. SuperQ founder Muhammad Khan says the platform called Super is web-based and, similarly to ChatGPT, allows users to ask about complex real-world problems in plain English, and comes up with all possible solutions simultaneously. Problems could include supply chain bottlenecks or manufacturing inefficiencies. "The way it does it is by combining classical computing with quantum computing, and doing all the complexity stuff under the hood," Khan told The Canadian Press in a recent interview. "Classical computing is what we use everyday on our computers, on our laptops. "Classical computing would take one route, and if it fails, it comes back and takes another route. Whereas quantum computing takes all the possible routes at the same time. And as a result, it is able to figure out the maze a lot faster." Businesses in the city southeast of Calgary can trial the technology by asking questions like how to find efficient delivery routes or how to schedule staff to minimize overtime, Khan said. Super is to eventually be made available to the broader public by licence. The Lethbridge Super hub is the first in a series of planned networks worldwide. Other locations are set to be established elsewhere in Canada, the United States, Europe, India and the United Arab Emirates. Khan said setting up the platform's nucleus in Lethbridge is a full-circle moment. "I have a deep affection for Tecconnect as my entrepreneurial journey started there," Khan said, adding the centre has helped facilitate emerging technologies in Alberta and Canada. "That appetite to promote emerging technologies with a business focus is something that is not very common. And if you go to the big centres, it's hard to bring about these programs." Renae Barlow, vice-president of entrepreneurship and innovation at Economic Development Lethbridge, said emerging technologies, such as Tecconnect, can keep businesses competitive. Local teams are offering workshops and training to help companies learn more about the platform, she said. "Having businesses understand why it's important for them to integrate this [technology] and to be on the leading edge and to really create that competitive advantage is what we wanted for our southern Alberta businesses," Barlow said. "To understand that this actually puts them ahead." Khan said some businesses in telehealth have also reached out about using the platform to build artificial intelligence doctors. "Their human doctors couldn't keep up with the demand," he said. "So that was done, but then the question was, 'How do you increase the accuracy of those AI clinicians?' And this is where we came in, and the Super platform came in to take those AI models to the next level." Barlow said there's been other interest in things like understanding global markets and even determining nutritional values for cattle. The hub is also getting noticed by government officials. Nate Glubish, Alberta's minister of technology and innovation, highlighted the hub on social media. "Alberta tech is booming," he said.
