In other words, if you drink two beers a day, every single day, the total cost of your beer will go up about $6/year. If you're so close to the edge already that that is going to tip you over, maybe you ought to cut the beer altogether.
Beer is already ridiculously expensive in Canada. As a dual citizen, I always load up in New York before crossing that border. Crazy that they want to hike it more.
A can of beer is going up in price by less than a penny
Looks like I got taken for a spin. Thanks for info.
It works to be less than a penny per beer. If you were a heavy drinker and had 4 beers every day it's like a dollar more each month. As far as tax hikes go I wouldn't worry much about this one
Dougie promised me a buck a beer rabble rabble rabble
Good thing i quit drinking.
I wonder if beer retailers and producers will increase their prices in hopes of making a little more margin.
After all, it didn't stop all sorts of companies sneaking above-inflation increases in under the guise of inflation.
Unfortunate to see for the beer drinkers of Canada.
The one penny increase in price really gonna make or break you, huh?

I find this hilarious.
Anyone worried about the cost-of-living really shouldn't be wasting money on drugs, alcohol, or smoking.
