Spirits maker Diageo says it will cease operations at its bottling facility in Amherstburg, Ont., early next year, as it shifts some of the bottling volume to the U.S.

    Well that’s a quick way to get Canadians to drop your brand

    Edit it’s worth diving a bit in the article

    The facility, which bottles Crown Royal products, will close in February in a move aimed at improving its North American supply chain. Bottling at the Amherstburg facility intended for the U.S. market would be shifting stateside, while bottling for Canadian consumers would move to its Valleyfield, Quebec location.

    Still sucks for amhersburg employees but they haven’t picked up all stakes and moved south.

    Still I’ll try another brand next time to show my displeasure

    That’s quite a click-baity title.

    Drumpf and his tariffs are fucking up production, distribution and supply chains should be the actual title.

    I wish they had kept everything here in Canada, or just stopped shipping to the US, but that’s just not realistic. I think we will see more companies doing this unless there’s a new trade deal soon. And if Drumpf starts fucking with CUSMA next year, it could start all over again.
