According to LCBO, Jack Daniel's Honey is Canadian. I looked at the info in the bottle. It's not.

          You can print custom stickers in every Canadian settlement bigger than a small town.

    I will accept that errors taken when making and executing in policies this quickly, but this should be corrected.

    I thought that the liquor monopoly in Canada are pulling American product? Jack Daniel’s is unmistakably a US brand.

      Just fyi, there isnt just one liquor monopoly. Not sure about other provinces, but BC has BC Liquor and Quebec has SAQ. I guess LCBO is Ontario’s.

        Ontario has he LCBO which is government owned and The Beer Store which is privately owned by Molsom-Coors, Labatt and Sleemans. There’s also some grocery stores that can sell some kinds of alcohol, but I think the rule is is that they need to be a certain distance away from an LCBO or Beer Store. This is mostly for rural areas I think?

          There are no location requirements for selling alcohol as a grocery store, you have to have a certain percentage of your store selling groceries though. And those grocery stores have to buy through the LCBO.

            Yeah alright, wasn’t sure about that bit. In Nova Scotia, grocery stores and convenience stores can sell booze now, but they have to be a certain distance away from an NSLC, so we have some stores dotted around now selling booze. It’s been a while since I lived in Ontario and I left before the grocery store thing. Point being though, there’s ye olde Beer Store to go along with the LCBO and now there’s the other stores too. Did they ever get buck a beer though? I recall that being a very Important Issue when I left Ontario.

              To add on to this chain, in Quebec you get cheap beer at the mom and pop depanneurs, and good wine at the SAQ. And you don’t want to confuse the later with the SAAQ or the SQDC.

      This picture is from a week ago.

      It is an US brand, but it could be like Heinz ketchup, that although being an American brand, it’s entirely made in Canada with Canadian tomatoes.

        Didn’t we all start buying french’s when Heinz closed their Canadian facilities a few years ago? Thought that was a thing but didn’t follow it that closely. My wife and mother in law have both insisted on buying french’s since then.

          Heinz ended up making them in Canada again after the backlash. You do have to check the bottles though, as I think some are still sourced from the US.

      I will try it, but I need to empty a bottle before I can buy a bottle.

      It’s a sacrifice in willing to make.

    A businessman lying to possibly sell more product? If this continues to happen then the whole system will be broken after a while! /s
