A hike in a ‘beer tax’ that could make brews more expensive for Canadians is again being considered by Ottawa after a delay earlier in the year.

    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.

    Given the cost-of-living struggles facing many Canadians, Hélie 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.

    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.
