Yeah I was real impressed to hear that.

Bars in Ontario can't even get product at wholesale prices, but the 'special people' in our system get to pay half as much as the rest of us? This reeks of elitist opportunism.
The now-uniform 49 per cent discount is applied to the basic retail price, but before HST.
Seems like the same dollar amount of HST whether you apply the discount before the 13% HST, or the HST before the discount. Bafflegab?

That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes.
