The provincial area figure is meaningless for computing density. It’s like calculating the density of beer in a glass that’s been poured with 99% head. The real density is in the quarter inch of beer at the bottom of the glass, not the giant blob of foam above it.

Found the Canadian.
I’ve heard beer is actually pretty pricey in Canada
We (famously) had a politician campaign on “bringing back Buck-a-beer.” I never drank that swill though!
I heard Labatt Blue is not great.
Labatt Blue is a bit like Budweiser (it has 5% alcohol though), but like in the US, there are smaller breweries that make much better beers.
Thanks to the Liquid Cash Barrons of Ontario.
I believe those liquid cash barons are now all international conglomerates. Also, I can tell you that the LCBO is actually quite a bit cheaper than BC Liquor and NSLC. Though compared to Alberta it is way more expensive.
