Well, here in BC you can still buy several brands of beer in stubbies,
as well as cider. 
The beer is MUCH cheaper than long-neck/green bottled beer. Example:
Molsons Old Style ("Pilsner" to you easterners) costs $9.00 including
tax, plus deposit, per dozen. "Fancy" labels, even Canadian (Molsons)
costs typically $10.60 per dozen. Same beer, $1.60 for the fancy long-
neck bottles...

If you mean the REAL Fosters, I agree. If you mean the "brewed in Canada"
piss, I quite disagree. They are both lousy...
