You pay less for Canadian beer than we pay for Canadian beer. Its been like that for eons. And you are right Blueone, even our very conservative Ontario Premier can't privatize the Province owned LCBO because it makes huge amounts of money that would have to be replaced by more visible taxes.Wow, I pay $23.65 for a 30 pack of bud light. I would have to get a job just to buy beer in boating season.
So I guess I am totally wrong my about $45 a pack?
When Alberta privatized liquor stores they kept the distribution system. They still make the same amount per bottle plus they saved the cost of the government owned and operated stores. Liquor stores are now three types. High end with knowable people, Big Box Grocery store with good selection and Ma and Pop with limited selection located in strip moles near residential area. Alberta has wide selection and convenience. We live in a residential area and have a Ma and Pop store a block and half away. In paper today Royal Reserve 750 $17.99, Bacardi 750 $18.99, Smirrnoff Vodka 1.4 $29.99, Likuid Vodka 750 $9.99.Getting the Ontario government to let go of Liquor sales is like getting washington to accept term limits

Key difference in Canada & Australia is a taxpayer funded National health system. Smoking causes cancer and heart disease and is a major contributor to the cost of healthcare. Taxing cigarettes is a bit of a "user pay" system. I think instead of health warnings, cigarette packs in Canada should say something like:The prices, through systematic legislated excise (tax) hikes, are meant to discourage smoking in this country.
There's also an exchange rate difference in our currencies that would explain part of the price away.
Smokers die younger thus they do not collect social benefits as long. When I see smokers I thank them for smoking as I know they will receive little retirement benefits. This will result in more for us non smokers. HAHAKey difference in Canada & Australia is a taxpayer funded National health system.

I think instead of health warnings, cigarette packs in Canada should say something like:
"If you smoke a pack a day, you will have paid approximately $200,000 in excise taxes by the time you get cancer or heart attack treatment in hospital, which will only partially cover the cost of your treatments. So don't complain about the price you just paid for this pack of smokes".
Yep. I'm a little north of Pittsburgh and it's 2.69 here and 3.19 for diesel. I'm guessing over $4 by summer and over $6 or 7 by next summer if sleepy Joe gets his way. Couple that with rigs shutting down due to weather and it will probably go higher in the next week or so. I think oil was over $60/bbl the other day. I'm just glad I work from home and my wife drives a 30MPG Subaru. My truck gets 12 MPG (2500 6.4 Hemi).$2.99 in Penna today for regular, diesel highway @ $3.25, i see $4.00/gal by summer here in Penna
We have a store around here that does that. One time I paid .03/gallon but then next time I went my amount off was higher than the price so they made me pay .10/gallon. They said they put a policy in place that .10 was the lowest they could go. They have a 30 gallon limit.View attachment 99790 We do all of our grocery shopping at Kroger. We usually end up getting 2 to 3 dollars off per gallon every month. You can only use $1 at a time for up to 35 gallons. We will drive both cars to the pump. This is what we paid last April. 39.9 cents a gallon
I paid $1.49 a gallon last week.
Sounds unfair to me, if a smoker gets killed crossing the street his family ought to get a big rebate at least. How about all the lard asses sitting at desks, high blood pressure, overweight...how do they get punished?Key difference in Canada & Australia is a taxpayer funded National health system.
