Abstract

On 27 August 2018, the Conservative government of Doug Ford made it legal for brewers to sell bottles and cans of beer in Ontario for just one dollar (plus deposit). “The days of the government putting its hand in your pocket each time you buy a two-four or six-pack is over,” stated the Ontario Premier of his controversial new plan. “Instead we’re going to do what we said we would do and put Ontario consumers first.” The move fulfilled an election promise and was designed to get votes and please his electoral base.
