A buck a beer.
Sounds great but I wonder how many will play along.
With the cost of aluminum up 10% smaller companies will have a hard time offering it in a can. Or thats what they are saying.
I'm sure the micro breweries will continue to have a loyal following here. I'm sure of it.
Won't change what I drink. At least I think it won't.

"A local brewery is flipping the script on Doug Ford’s buck-a-beer plan in the best way we can imagine. A dollar from every sale of Dominion City Brewing Co.’s “Buck-A-Beer” blonde ale will be donated to local settlement causes which aid refugees."

This Week in Canada...

A man who insists Bigfoot is real is taking his case to the courtroom. As Aaron McArthur reports, he is arguing the province needs to do more to protect sasquatches.

https://globalnews.ca/news/4388107/bc-bigfoot-lawsuit/

A Bigfoot believer is taking the B.C. government to court, claiming the province hasn’t done enough to protect the sasquatch.


Todd Standing says he has “a horrific amount of evidence” that proves without a doubt that the species exists.
“If this goes to trial… then we’re going to smoke these guys,” Standing said as he stood outside New Westminster law courts on Tuesday.
“I have DNA. How can you defend against that?
Standing wants to sue the government for failing to protect sasquatch habitat.
According to the Canadian Encyclopedia, the sasquatch is “a creature whose existence is suggested, but has not yet been confirmed by the scientific community.”
Standing, the man behind the Netflix documentary Discovering Bigfoot, claims he has seen the yeti-like creature and says the government won’t listen to reason.

The B.C. government called the suit frivolous and wants it to be thrown out.
On Tuesday, when asked if he was wasting the court’s time, Standing described his research as “the discovery of the millennium.”
Standing was part of a group that petitioned a California court to recognize the existence of the sasquatch.
Lawyers say this is an all-too-common problem.
Scheduling court time is hard enough and having so-called “vexatious litigants” tie up valuable court resources only makes matters worse.

“In provincial court, you’re often going to go several months or even over a year before you even get a trial date for a criminal matter,” lawyer Emma Wilson of Acumen Law said.

“I would hope that our court time is used for things that actually will make a difference in people’s lives.”
Standing’s case brought a senior lawyer from the attorney general’s office in Victoria for the day plus an articling student who argued the case. The case took an hour and 20 minutes of the court’s time and a written decision from a judge is still to be handed down.
Until then, Standing has issued an open invitation to skeptics.
“Come out with me and I will show you a sasquatch.”

Maybe they should give back their government subsidy to the "refugees" too as one of the breweries that took 200,000$ from Wynne? If anyone can explain how beer makers need government money when schlubs line up to buy their piss I'm listening.

Saudi Arabia-Canada spat: Here’s everything to know about the feud

Pretty much the entire world kisses the Saudi’s butts in the name of oil and geo politics. Good on Canada for standing up (symbolically anyway) to these knuckle dragging thugs.

I figure he's more of a Nickleback kinda guy, who, when drunk, admits to being a country music fan from way back.

I thought that deal was dead since SA got their nipples in a twist.
