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
A pint at the pub in California was us$8-9 but here in BC it is ca$7.
Buying at the store is a bit more expensive than in California but not significantly when you do the conversion.
Better switch to liquor.
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?
Given the cost-of-living struggles facing many Canadians, HΓ©lie said many voiced their disapproval.
I find this hilarious.
Anyone worried about the cost-of-living really shouldn't be wasting money on drugs, alcohol, or smoking.
