Ontario to allow alcohol on Pedal Pubs starting in July
The Ontario government has announced it will allow alcohol to be served on large quadricycles, better known as pedal pubs, starting on July 1.
The change would apply to pedal pubs with an alcohol license in Toronto, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ottawa and Windsor with room for twelve or more people, according to a news release from the Attorney General of Ontario issued Friday.
The province launched a 10-year pilot program for pedal pubs back in 2022, but they were not allowed to serve alcohol up until now.
The release says the move is meant to support small businesses and encourage local tourism in the face of U.S. tariffs and economic uncertainty
"Beginning this summer, Ontario is supporting a unique opportunity that will not only stimulate tourism and bring communities together, but also protect local jobs, our economy and small businesses across the province," Attorney General Doug Downey said in a statement.

Canada's Digital Services Tax Stays in Place Despite G-7 Deal
Canada is proceeding with its digital services tax on technology companies such as Meta Platforms Inc. despite a Group of Seven agreement that resulted in removing the Section 899 'revenge tax' proposal from US President Donald Trump's tax bill. The first payment for Canada's digital tax is still due Monday, the country's Finance Department confirmed, and covers revenue retroactively to 2022. The tax is 3% of the digital services revenue a firm makes from Canadian users above C$20 million ($14.6 million) in a calendar year.
