    Crown Royal is owned by Diageo, which is a British multinational that owns a third of booze production on earth. They don’t give a shit about anything other than pushing their next quarter’s profits up.

          I mean, you could start a corporation any time you want. Maybe you wouldn’t be shitty?

    I don’t often agree with Doug, but fuck Crown Royal for this.

    They can get removed from our shelves like the US brands they so wish to be.

        He says he doesn’t drink and that’s a full bottle of crown royal. One of the bigger bottles too.

        You can tell Doug is lying becsuse his lips are moving.

        He claimed. Could be a political stunt in which he purchased a new bottle, or could be an existing bottle in which he has bad taste in alcohol

            or do drugs, but he exploits people who do, and he has been doing that since he was 14.

      I would not be surprised if he kept one under his desk and already had it

      The difference between the cost of 1 bottle, and a $740 million market, is actually quite large. Close to $740 million in fact.

        Right. While he did claim to have brought it from his house, I just think it’s weird if he had bought it to make a statement like buying books to burn instead of just not reading it. If he did indeed bring it from home, he has bad taste in alcohol.

      Because Ontario has a massive alcoholism problem in regions that love to vote for him. While he does populist shit like this over 200 jobs, he grafts $20B to the Vaughan mob over the 413. So what actually hurts Ontario?
