Canadian provinces vary and have restrictions in ridiculous ways, yet I find that most people relish the power of the provinces, and the result is incongruity.
In Vancouver you can buy any normal alcohol at a private liquor store until 11PM, 7 days a week. The hours in govt. stores vary from 11PM, and some close at 9PM, 6 on Sunday. It wasn't always that way, liquor stores used to be closed on Sundays.
Most restaurants here don't rush you, except for the super trendy ones which typically have line ups waiting, and I find that you just pay extra for the slow service in a high end restaurant.
