What do you think of beer prices in Ontario?
The provincial Tories said if elected this fall, they would consider lowering the price of cheap beer back to $1 a bottle.
If that were the case, the minimum price of beer would go from $25.95 to $24 for a case of 24.
The ‘buck a beer’ idea was scrapped by the McGuinty Liberals three years ago.
Beer and liquor prices are set by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, which defends higher prices as a way to protect against over-indulgence.
