Seriously.Hurrah, cheap, shit beer.
I travel to Myrtle Beach, S.C. frequently and I've noticed the price of Grey Goose. At the LCBO a 750 of GG is $50 Cdn. At Costco's at M.B. a 1.75L is $48.00 U.S. With exchange that is approx. in Cdn. to $117 to $74.Not a concern for me as i do not drink beer very often, however you can buy a case of beer for $27 in Quebec which is pretty close to a buck a beer. Obviously this includes some sort of provincial tax so the cost to the beer manufacturer must be significantly lower than a buck a bottle.
I read that in Ontario almost half the cost of a case of beer is tax related. Crazy!
Funny thing is I remember in 1979 a case of beer was $7.20. Yes, the misspent summer of fun working at a resort up in the Muskokas...
My fear too. A buck a beer sounds good but how will it taste? I voted for Ford but if the election was held today would probably vote Green, think Ford is power tripping and is settling old scores.Hurrah, cheap, shit beer.
It's what a kept promise looks like. Cheers!I thought conservatives backed responsible economics.
Guess not, guess its all about cheap beer and voter pandering.
Of all the ways to increase the Ontario deficit, cheap beer has to be one of the stupidest.BTW I do not think Ford is the sharpest tool in the shed, but it also shows how simple the job can be.
The simple rule is: stop fucking over the hard working people!
Really, what a pathetically transparent stunt which will only appeal to lowest strata of mouth breathers. Was that not a Ford fan who drove into the bar at Donlands and O'Connor yesterday? YEEHAW!!Hurrah, cheap, shit beer.

Funny, I thought Doug Ford and the rest of the PCs were for less government involvement in private business.Debbie Downer strikes again.
Go watch The Shawshank Redemption after tarring the roof and enjoy a cold beer under the hot sun for a buck.
Ford is kicking ass and taking names. After over a decade of government bloat and pandering, it is refreshing.

If you want to remember the old times, I recommend you go order a few thousand dollars worth of pizza and drop it off at your local union hall.
You could also take a billion dollars out of the bank every month, put it in a big pile, and burn it. The possibilities are endless!
Yes, and now he has made you a million dollars. Cheers!!It's what a kept promise looks like. Cheers!
Not to mention no brewer, no store and no Premier has said anyone will actually sell any beer at that low price. Just that they're now permitted to. Where the PC government will make up the shortfall in taxes, DoFo isn't sayin'.Funny, I thought Doug Ford and the rest of the PCs were for less government involvement in private business.
Changing the gov't regulated ( heh...) minimum price from $1.25 to $1.00 per bottle will not have any lasting effect on the pricing unless DoFo reduces the relevant provincial taxes too.
As other people mentioned, beers sold in that price range have the personality of used dishwater.
In addition, nobody has come forward on Terb stating that they will drink this catpiss.Not to mention no brewer, no store and no Premier has said anyone will actually sell any beer at that low price. Just that they're now permitted to. Where the PC government will make up the shortfall in taxes, DoFo isn't sayin'.
...and how has that helped to reduce poverty so far?Yeah I personally would prefer to pay a bit more for good beer and reduce the poverty in our province. I typically only drink socially so I pay $10 a beer and that will probably not change.
But when the Liberals increased the price of beer, i.e. "government involvement in private business" it was ok right?Funny, I thought Doug Ford and the rest of the PCs were for less government involvement in private business.
