It's not just beer bottles and cans you can return in Ontario. You can return any cans/bottles from the Beer Store/LCBO including wine, liquor, coolers, non-alcoholic beers, etc. I'm sure you can also return any beer/wine cans bottles purchased from non-Beer Store/LCBO locations as how would the counter person know if a particular vintage was sold at the LCBO or just the winery...or if your bottle of liquor was from Duty Free?

Only the beer store takes returns. There was a plan to roll out universal deposits on beverage containers, but the current government scrapped it.

I don't know what Ford has said during his stand-up routines but the government presser makes no mention of 'foreign' or 'international'; it only mentions Ontarians. They're also going to have to ramp up residency slots because other provinces will no doubt put retaliatory rules around theirs.Interesting double-whammy here ....
I've seen "we'll cover your tuition if you agree to hang around" schemes fail in the past because, well, there weren't enough teeth in whatever agreements were signed with whoever was covering the tuition to keep docs from GTFO'ing anyway. We'll see what happens with the legislation that ends up being grunted out.

Convenience stores (as defined) are exempt from accepting empties (perhaps for now). As far as the grocery stores, this wasn't anything new - perhaps the corporate offices failed to read the fine print. The Beer Store can't exist primarily as a bottle return network than sells beer.I'm going to guess most corner stores don't have much storage space for empties - not to mention it doesn't look like someone's going to go to the outlets to pick up empties.
Yeah, it's up to the vendors to know the details (no such thing as free lunch from any government), but as you know with other levels of government, the devil's in the (regulatory) details.
But hey, Team Blue's the party of small business, right?
Deposit return vending machines work a whole lot better with cans than bottles.

Maybe I'm reading @RangerRay wrong but it seems to me that he's saying that in Manitoba only the Beer stores accept returns and they only accept BEER bottles and cans.
You're correct that in Ontario returns for deposit are only accepted at the Beer Store, but they don't only accept BEER bottles and cans, they also accept wine, liquor, cooler, etc. bottles and cans. Definitely not universal, but covers all the containers that you're actually paying a deposit for at the Beer Store/LCBO. Of course all non-deposit containers go in the Blue Box.

To be fair, most other provinces (BC being the exception) already does this for Med and Law schools. Most have X% required from their province (Dal and MUN use “the Maritimes” rather than NS or NL, respectively).I don't know what Ford has said during his stand-up routines but the government presser makes no mention of 'foreign' or 'international'; it only mentions Ontarians. They're also going to have to ramp up residency slots because other provinces will no doubt put retaliatory rules around theirs.

The Military Medical and Legal training programs (MMTP, MLTP) are considered “from that province” regardless of actual province of residence. So, I could apply to U of A and be considered an Albertan, even though I have never resided there.

Returning Empties | The Beer Store
The Beer Store takes back all the packaging we sell. We accept all empty containers under the Ontario Deposit Return Program. This is where you will find sorting and return tips.

I did hear somebody quoted (him or a minister) that it ultimately wasn't a huge departure from current policy.
Agree, but it will have the same impact on students from other provinces. I guess coming on the heels of federal immigrant and TFW news, "foreign/international" grabs more headlines than restricting applications from Manitoba.

Interesting tack ....

Plus side: some folks wanting to end up in a specific home could increase their odds of doing so more quickly if the new rules are passed.
Minus side: some folks could end up waiting longer because those in the most need would no longer have first overall dibs on the next available bed.
All depends on how the rules are crafted.
Wonder if anyone's asked about whether "cultural" includes, oh, I don't know, any beds/homes aimed at veterans? Places like this?
Tiny bit more detail in attached notice.
Ontario proposes fix to issue of dwindling long-term care cultural admissions
TORONTO - Ontario is proposing a pilot project to tweak long-term care priority rules in order to address a problem of declining and mismatched admissions to the province's cultural homes.
Plus side: some folks wanting to end up in a specific home could increase their odds of doing so more quickly if the new rules are passed.
Minus side: some folks could end up waiting longer because those in the most need would no longer have first overall dibs on the next available bed.
