Ford vows to ban Crown Royal from LCBO over plant shutdown
January 5, 2026
Ontario Premier Doug Ford renewed his vow to take popular Crown Royal rye whisky off the province’s liquor-store shelves next month if its maker, global alcohol giant Diageo PLC, follows through on plans to close a Windsor-area bottling plant and throw about 200 people out of work.
Last September, Mr. Ford dumped a bottle of Crown Royal out in front of TV cameras to protest the planned shutdown of the plant in Amherstburg, Ont. − months after banning all U.S. booze from the province’s liquor stores in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre delivered a keynote speech Friday to kick off the party's national convention in Calgary ahead of a critical leadership review.
