Calls heat up to pull Crown Royal from LCBO shelves

Premier Ford condemned Diageo's plan to close the Amherstburg Crown Royal plant by February 2026, risking 170 jobs and $740 million in business with Ontario's liquor board.

  • 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.
