Quebec’s finance minister has criticized Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s decision to ban Crown Royal whisky, manufactured in Amherstburg, following concerns raised by Manitoba. The ban is a response to Diageo’s closure of its bottling plant, resulting in job losses. Quebec’s Eric Girard warns that such measures could harm Canadian supply chains amid trade tensions with the U.S. Meanwhile, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew urges Ford to reconsider the ban to protect jobs in Gimli.
