Quebec’s liquor Crown corporation says it’s seeing a surge in sales at some stores along the boundary with Ontario amid a strike by workers of that province’s liquor control board.

Société des alcools du Québec spokeswoman Linda Bouchard said since last week there has been an increase in customers at between 20 and 25 outlets located near Ontario.
