Paywall. You really should program this bot to prefer the similar articles from the CBC (and basically leave out The Star). Here's the CBC article on the same issue: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/ontario-retail-winery-tax-removal-bill-1.6969214

Whether you agree with high taxes on alcohol (sin tax), it seems unfair to apply this tax to local wineries but not imported wines.
