Everybody seems to be taking shots at Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak.
Mr. Hudak is the second coming of Mike Harris and there are many things to hate on him for.
Buck a beer ain't one of them.
An example would be Ken Gray's piece in this morning's Ottawa Citizen where he castigates the free market champion for lobbying for buck a beer. Look, I am fortunate enough to live on an open border with another nation and when I want to grab beer I just go to La Belle. Yesterday I ran into a prominent Liberal at Super C who, like myself, was grabbing a 24 of Stella for 27 bux. A bit more than a buck a beer but about half the price of the same pop in Ontario.
Mr. Gray presents his case the same way a lot of over smart folks do, not understanding that, to a lot of people a 2-4 for a buck a beer is an issue as is gas prices and as in the HST.
Premier Hudak will send Ontario back to the '90s, the good ole days of Mike Harris but a free market for beer is not a bad idea.
