TORONTO, ON

Brother of late great Toronto mayor Rob Ford, Ontario PC candidate Doug Ford has gained a lot of attention for his unconventional policy proposals during this provincial election campaign. Recently, Ford proposed to bring back the “Buck a Beer” plan, enabling beer-drinkers across the province to, as Ford puts it, “get totally hammered a hell of a lot cheaper!” Ontario Mennonites, known for their frugality and temperance, were quick to react to the policy.

“Wow! That’s so cheap, even I might take up drinking.” – Reverend Duerksen, 85, Waterloo

“Pretty good. Now, if only he could do something about the high cost of pickle juice.” – Mrs. Snyder, 71, St. Jacobs

“Oba, that’s still more expensive than the stuff Oma Wiens makes in the bathtub in her back yard.” – Dorothy Wiens, 55
