Come with me as I drive from the Iqaluit International Airport to the Beer & Wine store where we can purchase beer, wine, cider and coolers. There is no hard alcohol for sale in town, except if you go to a bar for a gin & tonic, which is so tasty when you haven't had one in a long time. To order bottles of hard liquor, that you must get a permit, and order it to be delivered through cargo.

Found you!

[@fellowworker369]

Yes, you did! 😊

[@trish8070]

Do they sell hard liquor and cannabis there? Just curious. I bet the prices are insane..

[@fellowworker369]

Hard liquor can be purchased with a permit and comes via cargo; you have to hire a shopper in Ottawa or Montreal. Or drink your gin and tonics, or whisky, at the bar. Beer and Wine store sells beer, wine, coolers (with liquor but only 5% usually) and cider. The limit at the store is 24 beers/coolers or 4 bottles of wine per day. Yes, it's a bit more expensive. www.nunacannabis.com

What is peak hour traffic like?

[@fellowworker369]

Amazing question, @ameshaspenta3743! The entire city rotates around the work day because many people have kids in daycare. So there is traffic at 8am, 12 and 5 pm. Getting out of the area with office buildings requires going through the 4-way stop downtown. Here is a video that shows some traffic as I was driving around at noon and it's a talking tour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXanoJiBn8tpnM0

@@fellowworker369 Thank you for recommending the "I forgot my wallet" link.😉 I enjoyed that video. If that is what peak-hour traffic is like, I would drive on those roads any day! Bless🤍

[@fellowworker369]

@@ameshaspenta3743 Yes! The traffic is great unless you are running late 😂 But that is the same everywhere, eh? Grateful for your comment and attention!
