Calls heat up to pull Crown Royal from LCBO shelves

Premier Doug Ford criticized Diageo for closing the Amherstburg Crown Royal plant, affecting approximately 200 jobs and urging support for local manufacturers amid supply chain shifts.

  • Calls are growing to remove Crown Royal whisky from LCBO shelves after Diageo announced it will close its Amherstburg, Ontario bottling facility.
  • Diageo's decision is aimed at improving its North American supply chain amid financial difficulties, including a 28% year-over-year decline in operating profits.
  • Experts suggest Diageo's move reflects optimization of its supply chain by centralizing operations closer to the larger U.S. market, despite potential backlash from Canadian consumers and politicians.
