In Canada you are able to purchase absinthe in most liquor stores including government run liquor stores.

Here in British Columbia, I have never seen a liquor outlet without absinthe for sale. They are usually imported from various countries such as the Czech Republic and France.

Canada also produces some of its’ own absinthe as is seen [here](https://okanaganspirits.com/products/absinthe/taboo-genuine-absinthe/).
