The idea with any new tax is it takes time to see the true impact. What the HST provides to business is the ability to claim the PST that they pay on all supplies that they weren't able to do before. So yes, instantaneously business will see a 8% jump in their margins but since we are in a free mark...

What a coincidence, I'm drinking this as well tonight! Pours a gorgeous deep amber with a white head. A beer doesn’t look better than this. Aroma is earthy, toffee, hop and sweet nut. Taste is smooth, great body, bitterness starts at the tip of your tongue and grows as it goes back. Subtle flavour n...

Was in Broue Ha Ha yesterday and they have filled their shelves out nicely. Lots of stuff that both Omni and Trappe don't carry.
