    Many ontarians are really stupid. His “buck a beer” and literally no other platform to run on struck a chord with people who decided they got tired of the liberals

      buck a beer

      It’s some slogan in fairness. Alliteration and everything.

      I presume buck is dollar in this context? Did he deliver on one dollar beers?

        For a hot minute. Surprisingly it was really poorly made, and breweries couldn’t justify the cheap price for the cost of ingredients since none of it was subsidized by the provincial government.

        He just expected breweries to take the loss.

        As far as I recall all he was doing was lowering the legal bottom limit beer could be sold for. And yes, we use a buck to refer to a loonie sometimes
