  3. Wish other politicians said what they believed in like this. Good job. Standing up for 180-200 jobs once gone can impact the entire town.

    We all liked the whiskey when it won the whiskey of the year title, not anymore.

  5. A bottle that he presumably paid for. These people are so dumb.

    “I don’t like you, so I’m going to buy your product and intentionally waste it! I win!”

  6. That’s great…..I love having to wait until Dec to have an ultrasound

  7. Another one of Doug’s performances. 

    He doesn’t actually care about local jobs or workers, his policies have proven that. 

  8. Everybody knows this idiot is only trying to make a show. He’s not actually doing anything except making his friends in business richer.

  9. Doug should pull CR products off the shelves of Ontario liquor stores if he is serious. Dumping a half bottle is just performative theatre. Canadians have had enough of that crap from Trudeau already. Politicians need to do better

  10. As funny/stupid as this is objectively, I am not sure how many Americans are aware of just how pissed we are at the whole “51st state” thing (which is also something stupid on its own once those realize we have a “French Canada” and have to probably then make it 52nd states) 

    but I, 33 year old male born and raised in Vancouver, basically Canada’s answer to LA, who has never thought ill of america as a whole outside of incidents here and there, automatically changed my view.  Those people have no idea how insane our internal politics are but if they think they can just waltz here when they can’t even sort their own fucking shit?

    We burned down the white house once and you can bet your fucking ass well do it again if you try us.

  11. I mean isn’t being a canadian whiskey like that brands whole deal?

    If it’s not being made there what’s the point?

  12. Someone’s actually bringing jobs HERE?! That’s a change.

  13. It’s ALWAYS about booze with this guy! It’s hilarious

  14. Spills whiskey? That’s what we call alcohol abuse around here!

  16. Diageo owns CR. Which is also:
    Crown
    Bulleitt
    Seagrams 7
    Don Julio
    Casamigos
    Johnnie walker
    Lagavulin
    Tanqueray
    Guinness
    Captain Morgan
    Baileys

  17. Doug Ford is MAGA. Somehow stunts like this play well with morons in this province who don’t understand it for the distraction it actually is. This guy is doing more harm to this province than any tariff possibly could.

  18. Not removing the flow restricter on the bottle is an amature move, just sayin…

  21. I’m really getting tired of performative politics… 😒

  22. Totally thought this guy died! Wait… Was that is brother? I managed to forget most of the shit show tbh

  23. 4 unionized employees for every non-union “supervisor” and we are wondering why they need to streamline ops by closing this plant 🤦‍♂️

  24. Probably for the best. There are so many better whiskeys than crown.

  26. The us has way better brands for the same price but some people swear by the stuff. The apple one isn’t bad for that type of rot gut but still. You can even get Japanese brands at that price sometimes.

  27. The Canadian product is bottled and made here.

    They’re moving a bottling plant that mostly exported product to the US, to the US.

  29. “Diageo has maintained that the move is not because of Trump’s tariffs, but rather to “increase the efficiency and resiliency of its manufacturing footprint” in North America.”

    This is total bullshit. You don’t piss off your biggest North American customer by moving your plant to the US unless you are caving to Trump.

  30. If only he would show this much outrage and political theatre towards RECO…
