When are they going to increase the $4 limit?
Never. The $4 tax exemption thing came about in like 1990 when Bob Rae's NDP came into power in Ontario. However this law has never been touched since. Neither repealed nor updated to a higher dollar amount. Therefore it just stands and as the years go by, it becomes less and less meaningful/useful for "regular people". Back then you could get a Big Mac/std. McD's sandwich combo for $3.99, falling just within that provincial-tax-exempt bracket. Today? Ha good luck with that as I think a Big Mac on its own is more expensive than that.

Given we have a PC government now, don't get your hopes up of it changing anytime soon. In fact, I'm quite surprised Harris never repealed it during his "Common Sense Revolution" nonsense.

Really it hasn't changed in over 25 years, so it probably never will. Seems like it will just stay on the books indefinitely until one day $4 won't even be able to buy a small soda, making it fully useless at that point.

You're buying something from them and the frings can be redeem on its own if you like so I don't see why they can't combine. There is no requirement for frings redemption.

Harvey’s patties are like beef paste which was pressed into a perfect oval shape. Those you would find in packs of 8 at the grocery store. Obviously everyone would prefer hand-pressed ground/minced meat, but the original burger is still great value for $6

Harvey's burgers are much better than the In & Out burgers in the US.
I can't believe you've said this. In & out >

Definitely a better price, but you'd have to eat Burger King which kinda ruins it for me

Upon further research it seems the law came about in 1989 so it seems it did pre-date Bob Rae's time in power; however I hardly call a year or less, "long long before" :rolleyes:

5-6 years ago Harvey's had ok original burgers, since then, they have shrunk the patty to half the size and changed the "so-called" meat recipe they use in the patty.

Back in the day, 30 years ago their burgers were top notch, probably not the healthiest but very tasty for a 15 year old.

If I want to eat a "Harveys Type Burger" I'll go to Dairy Freeze (Caledonia and St.Clair) they haven't changed suppliers for the last 45 years, presently they're going through a renovation.
