During the COVID pandemic, Ontario Premier Doug Ford chastised Toronto grocer Pusateri’s for selling hand wipes at unreasonable prices. Ford correctly took offence to unfair price hikes.
Taylor Swift is scheduled to perform six shows in Toronto in the coming days and numerous local hotels have more than tripled their nightly rates. This is price-gouging. These hotel chains are taking advantage of people.
Once Taylor Swift and all the Swifties leave town, room prices will suddenly drop. The hotels should be called out for their greed and unethical behaviour.

POILIEVRE’S TAX ALTERNATIVE?
Re: EDITORIAL: Questions for a carbon tax election, online, Oct. 29
I have a question: What’s the plan, Pierre? Poilievre has repeatedly stated his intention to do away with Canada’s pollution pricing policy if the Conservative Party forms government, but has not said what he plans to do instead to fight climate change.
Meanwhile, a groundbreaking new study published in The Lancet has revealed that climate change is fueling a mental-health crisis among young people, with 85 per cent of nearly 16,000 respondents reporting significant distress.
Young Canadians — some of whom will be voting for the first time in the next federal election — might be interested to know whether Poilievre’s cry of “axe the tax” is accompanied by any viable alternatives.
