What's the deal with Canadian wine?

In case anyone cares, I live in Canada, the great white north, the double (or is it triple now?) solitudes, land of polar bears, mounties, dog teams, yellow snow, moose and igloos. What most people DON'T know, is that there is a thriving (albeit small) wine industry, as far as I know centered in Ontario around the Niagara Escarpment and in BC, in and around the Okanagon Valley. (Before anyone screams foul threats at my first born, I know there are many other small to middling wineries, based from coast to coast, but I am talking about vineyards with sufficient volume to be able to supply more than the immediate area). Anyone who has the opportunity and or inclination, I highly recommend touring and tasting in either (or both) major wine producing areas. OK, enough with the travelogue, and tourist boosterism.

Here's my problem:
I can go to my local liquor store, (BCLCB in West Vancouver, if anyone is keeping track) and I can buy wine from BC, Oregon, Washington state, California, France, Australia, South Africa, Greece, Spain, frikken Bulgaria for God's sake, but Ontario? The other main CANADIAN wine producing area? Umm....not so much.

There is the ubiquitous icewine (suitable for waffles or over ice ceam IMHP) of course, and I'm sure that the next time I need to be cloyed, that's my first choice. But for normal, everyday drinking wines, (which, let's be frank, I do enjoy, if not everyday, at least weekly) I have a very limited (to nonexistant) selection to choose from. This is in the name of "supporting our local wineries".
Capital double-u tee eff??? How can I get wine from virtually every other cobweb ridden skanky plonk producing corner of the oenophilic universe, and yet not be able to choose something from my own country?

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE BC wines, and I have only begun to enjoy the vast range that our province is capable of producing. That said, is there any reason, other than sheer provincial governmental stupidity that I cannot enjoy the occasional bottle from our sister province? (Admittedly, Ontario is more like the ugly stepsister who gave us wedgies than the pretty older sibling we'd always dreamed of, the one who'd buy us beer and introduce us to her trampy friends..but thats for another day). The point is, (and yes, thank you, I DO have one) if i can buy Ontario wine in Alberta (and I can) why not in BC? Is it some holdover feeling of inferiority, that just maybe we aren't good enough to compete? Well, let me tell you, we make some great wine in this province. They make great wine in Ontario as well, though I have to take other people's word for it, and there is enough international competition to make the thought of blocking the internal sales of Canadian wines from one province to another seem smallminded, and just poor business.
