Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Nothing special about them. It's just a different name for a regular convenience store.

Huh, I guess you're right actually. I'm in Québec often and I always thought a dépanneur was specifically a convenience store that sold alcohol but it seems like it does refer to any convenience store

Growing up in Ontario in the 80s and 90s, the fact that you could buy beer and wine at a dépanneur was revolutionary. Can't get that at Mac's Milk!

Haha I grew up on the border of Ontario and Québec (ON side) and we'd make trips over to the small town dep on the Quebec side to buy alcohol when we were 18.

Also re: Mac's Milk, I'm still mad its not called that anymore
