And most everything except for grocery stores, which is to say malls, Walmart and Canadian Tire, etc. close early on Sat nights. Often at 5 pm.

Quebec has retail store hours that are regulated provincially. In Ontario, stores can be open whatever hours they want to be (unless there is a municipal by-law) but most have to close for designated holidays.
This is from the Gouvernement du Québec:
For most retail stores:
HOURS AND DAYS OF ADMISSION2. Subject to sections 3 to 14, the public may be admitted to a commercial establishment only between the hours of(1) 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, and 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on the other days of the week;(2) 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on 24 and 31 December;(3) 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on 26 December where it falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, and 1:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. where it falls on another day of the week.
For grocery stores:
Subject to sections 3, 4.1, 4.2, 6 and 12 to 14, the public may be admitted to a grocery store only between the hours of(1) 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, and 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on other days of the week;(2) 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on 24 and 31 December; and(3) 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on 26 December, if it is a Saturday or a Sunday, or 1:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., if it is another day of the week.

When we go shopping in Rouyn-Noranda on a Saturday, we know that stores will be closing at 5pm so we go to the clothing stores first and then we go to the grocery store (IGA) after that to get beer as it is still open. Then it's time for dinner at an awesome restaurant.
