Premier Doug Ford says he is offering an “olive branch” to Crown Royal distiller Diageo, after previously saying he would pull the company’s whisky from Ontario liquor store shelves.
The premier told reporters during an unrelated news conference this week that he is willing to reconsider the threat, but only if the province is able to obtain concessions from the British multinational alcoholic beverage company, which produces Canadian whisky.
