Are they really 'bringing home' the Crown? Them Canadians are pretty pissed, too...

New york Times - Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario, appeared at a news conference this week at a factory in Kitchener, Ontario, with an unusual prop: a crown-shaped bottle of whisky. After making his announcement about a job skills training program, Mr. Ford said that although he does not drink alcohol, he had found the bottle of Crown Royal in his home. As he uncapped it and began pouring out its contents, Mr. Ford launched into an attack against Diageo, the global alcohol giant, for its decision to move Crown Royal’s bottling from Amherstburg, Ontario, to a plant in the United States.

 

“This is what I think about Crown Royal,” said Mr. Ford, who appeared surprised by how sluggishly the bottle was emptying because of its narrow neck. “Everyone else should do the same thing - start supporting companies that make whisky here by Ontario people.”

He also suggested that he might go further than emptying bottles. “You hurt my people, I’m going to hurt you,” he warned Diageo.

Early in the current trade war with the United States, Mr. Ford removed all beer, wine and liquor made in the United States from the shelves of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, the government-owned retailer that is among the largest buyers of alcohol in the world.
