    1. I am cracking up at your comment … way over in Vancouver … So funny. Love it and I just emailed that store….form millions of miles away… Shameful!

    2. I really hope CP24, Breakfast Television or some other news hour interviews him via webcam.

    1. You got my vote on this one. Just arrest anyone who try prize gouging during this deadly Epidemic outbreak. If any of those idiots got infected, just turn them away and do not treat. They had committed a crime against humanity.

    1. He’s a dread. I don’t want to assume he smokes cannabis…but most dreads do. Cannabis brings me to life.

  1. This is the Doug Ford I love! The Populist who sounds like his late great Brother not the austerity loving Big Global Corporate Tory

    1. Typical liberal sentiments:

      “Did I tell you MY opinion (even though, nobody asked) I hAtE DoUg FoRd”

    2. @James Charles Even when they compliment a Conservative leader you whine like a three year old child. Grow up and give it a rest.

    1. @hhiippiittyy I don’t like the PC party because they are pandering the Muslims, It’s not Doug ford’s fault though.

    1. Not only that they jacked up Tylenol 1 from 13.00$for bottle 200 to 60.00$if that s not gouging what is and now drug stores won’t even sell it o were outta stock .every drug store ya right.

  2. Pusateri’s is claiming it was a ‘mistake’. The mistake was doing it. The consequences was getting caught.

    The punishment should be a boycott of the store for a month.

    1. Guy
      You’re actually very right!
      So then the owner should be fine 1mln. Case closed, excuses accepted.

    2. Nah, just quadruple the rent for the company and mortgage of the owner’s home and utilities for a few months.

    3. I have total respect and compassion for the employees….who are absolutely not at fault! My anger is at the company and only them Greeders!

    1. @ITHEREONETHATHASNT Ontario declared a state of emergency on March 17th, 9 days ago. As of today the province is running ~5000 tests per day (previously we could only run about 2000 tests per day). And they changed how they would define recovered cases to free up more tests for new cases. Hopefully we will see wait times go down with increases testing capacity.

    2. I really don’t care if unions and protesters hate him. He definitely has our backs in this situation.

  3. I would never buy anything from Pusateri’s ever again, hope everybody does the same. 👊👊👊👊

    1. I’m with you! I will. Never enter that store again…can’t afford to anyways…my experience 2 yrs ago when I jumped into that store in a rush to buy one orang

    1. always funny to watch a guy in a suit making faces like that. I’m surprised nobody has cut a few of them from the news clips and patched it to a music video.

    2. He is actually translator, we have to deliver emotions and expressions, your comment is cheap, how is that for priceless?

    3. I dont know sign language but I understand the facial expressions are important. It’s not hand signals alone.

    1. Then you realize that what you liars call price gouging is actually the free market functioning as it should.

    2. @Xeno Phon Its a world-wide crisis. Capitalism is out the window now. Sorry. We need to be generous and not concern ourselves with our bottom dollar. Don’t like it? Move to the States where your health insurance is your ticket to survival. Don’t believe me? A teenage boy has already died there from the virus after being turned away from the hospitals for lack of insurance. Also, the most capitalist country in the world (USA) is the one handling the virus the WORST right now in the world and is falling apart more and more as each day passes. Curious ain’t it?

      Capitalism FAILS in crisis. It doesn’t work. It falls apart.

    3. War time price gouging was also dealt with but of course you conservative types love war a lot more than health care so it is not surprising

  4. The sign language interpreter gave the longest middle finger to price gougers. Threatening with gang signs.

  5. “price error” they literally made a full paper explaining the product and price.. it wasn’t an error, it was greed.

  6. CANADIAN TIRE IS SELLING FACEMASKS FOR 40$ FOR 50 IN CORNWALL ONTARIO. same ones I bought at a hardware store for 6 $ a month ago
