Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed his displeasure over Crown Royal shutting down a plant in Ontario by pouring out a bottle of its whisky.
“This is what I think about Crown Royal. That’s what they can do, and I think everyone else should do the same thing,” Ford said as he dumped out the bottle during a press conference on Sept. 2.
